These two were newly hatched when purchased with the assumption they were RI R's. I'm having my doubts because of the light coloring and the small amount of buff on a few tips of the feathers. They were mostly solid red when bought with one having a light reddish head and the other a yellow head. I think they are possibly production red's or New Hampshire. I'm thinking one pullet and one cockerel. Also notice the feathers on the one on the right in first image which I think is the pullet. I've not seen one with feathers sticking out so much. Almost a frizzle? What's every ones opinion on these two. Thanks in advance. They were purchased from an Amish family where a lot of my flock do come from.





The one on the right has a comb about twice the size from the one on the left in this image. Hard to tell from my lousy picture but it is also starting to develop a small wattle.



So, maybe I'm correct in naming them Jacob 'left' and Sarah 'right'.



Thanks everybody!

There's only two right? I think in the last pic you are right about the genders. Left looks like a rooster and the right looks like a hen.
 
My guess is you are correct. The larger combed one represents a young cockerel and the smaller one is your pullet. As far as breed I'm going with New Hampshire Red.
