Does anyone know what these two are? (breed)

[clgriff]

And no, not sure of the ones gender, could be male, really won't know until it crows or lays an egg. Trying to hone in my skills. I have only had hens for years so this rooster thing is new.

She never questioned gender. Just seeing if we could state our opinion on what they could be mixed with. I agree one cockerel and one pullet. if i had to guess breed... Actually, i can't! They are far too unique! Beautiful birds

No, that is not rude. Just thought it would be fun to see if any character stood out of what a parent might have been.
Did not mean to be a waste of time, sorry.

Not a waste of time, I was just curious. I think they look they have some black sexlink in them.

I never said they questioned gender.

They are very pretty!

the reason I say they're both roosters is the amount of color to the comb at this young age, but mostly the color of the bird. A profile shot of the bird in question would help, but I'm seeing classic male coloring in both from what I can see in the posted picture.

yeah agree with donrae. I see male coloring coming out on both birds. The smaller one has red on back by the tail- that's roo coloring. Later on both of them will have more of this red over the back, wings and necks.

I try to occasionally remind people in general not to be so obsessed and singular on combs and wattles. Look at the whole bird. By the combs the second one does look pullet-ish but the color on back is a real clear signal of roo.

black sexlink as part of the mix is a good guess, especially with yellow legs.

Some show their combs much later I agree... I call them Stealth roosters. I have to wait to see their boy feathers come in.. Have one right now that I didn't know until week 14. For a single combed breed, I have never had to wait even half that long!

Here is the one I'm talking about @ 14 weeks. One day I was like.. That girl does not look right.. Awfully shiny.. Yeah.. It's crowing now at 16 weeks.

Thanks everyone, they are now 12 wks and I am going to try to get some better pics of them. The one that I know is male for sure, Eli has been biting me (ugggg) so he is being picked up a lot and fed treats after the girls get some (the ones I think MAY be girls, lol).
Oh I was hoping he would not be defensive of me. I have had hens, people gave me hens all the time after they did not want them or could not care for them, so this whole rooster thing is so new to me.
The only true breed chick I have is a white leghorn that I got from a hatchery. The rest I think are barnyard mutts, and that's ok
Thanks everyone,
Connie
