Chicken breeding question

[Debs55]

So I have bred chickens before and understand a good but of it but now I'm in a predicament. I have been breeding white silkies for about 3 years. I started with 5 chicks. 4 ended up being roosters and I sold them. Then I bought 3 more chicks from a different breeder. One ended up being a rooster but I kept him. At this point I had 1 unrelated hen and 2 hens and rooster that were related. I let them hatch chicks with the intent to sell them but at the time didn't sell and one was a rooster. Now I have two roosters that both look alike so I don't know if I can tell them apart and I want to breed again. Will it be a problem?

You look at spur size to see if you can tell which is the older boy? My 2 year old silkie rooster has some big spurs on him. His son's weren't anywhere near as big when he went to the soup pot at a year old.
