If the two are the same age, I would agree with you.Without knowing age (which is super important), this one looks like a pullet to me.

rose comb?No, the circled bird (pobably female) has a single comb as has the cockerel standfing near her.
The other male has a rose comb.
I think it's the same bird and just has a thick base to his comb. The different angles make it look different.No, the circled bird (pobably female) has a single comb as has the cockerel standfing near her.

There are only two birds though...No, the circled bird (probably female) has a single comb as has the cockerel standfing near her.

Yup! It is at the very limit of what is okay for them size-wise though, I think (it's like a meter long and half a meter wide/tall), raised off the ground and pretty secure. I am 100% planning to get something bigger ASAP, it has been harder than expected! But for now they seem okay. Then they have this wire/hardware cloth rectangle that they can go into that's protected from the sun and they like that, and then they have free roam of this yard, and then also they consistently escape into the rest of the world every few days. I lock them in their coop thing at night though.Welcome to the forum and to chickens!
Do they have a solid structure (coop) to go into for sleeping and inclement weather?
Ahh! I see! in the last photo...I think it's the same bird and just has a thick base to his comb. The different angles make it look different.

I always use the name Bobby...For the youngsters out there!
Joe Shmoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a fictional name.
Joe Shmoe (also spelled Joe Schmoe and Joe Schmo), meaning 'Joe Anybody', or no one in particular, is one of the most commonly used fictional names in American English. Adding a "Shm" to the beginning of a word is meant to diminish, negate, or dismiss an argument (for instance, "Rain, shmain, we've got a game to play"). It can also indicate that the speaker is being ironic or sarcastic. This process was adapted in English from the use of the "schm" prefix in Yiddish to dismiss something; as in, "Fancy, schmancy" (thus denying the claim that something is fancy). While "schmo" ("schmoo", "schmoe") was thought by some linguists to be a clipping of Yiddish שמוק "schmuck",[1] an etymology supported by the Oxford English Dictionary;[2] that derivation is not universally accepted.[3]
Where did you get them from?Sorry if I did this incorrectly I've never used this website! Anyway, I know nothing about chickens or about these chickens, does anyone know what they are? They were already different sizes when I got them, one of them has grown a ton and the other hasn't grown that much. Is the big one a male? The red patches on the big one are new, it looked much more black and white before. I've had them for like 3 weeks.

PS the cardboard box is in there because they like it, and they have an actual feeder and water thing in their little area/run thing, this is all just extra stuff out here. but if there's something that looks super wrong please let me know because I've never had a chicken before and I truly have no idea what I'm doing.
EDIT adding a picture of the small bird (total of 2 chickens in this situation): View attachment 2773139
