You've got me wondering about the third chicken (the all white one)! If it's another male you will have trouble keeping them as a trio.

Yep, I agree with the other ones: Your little black one is a Black Frizzled Cochin Bantam pullet/hen, and I guess your white one is a Light Brahma Bantam cockerel/rooster.
Lovely birds, by the way! (It actually surprises me that there was a frizzled one at a feed store, though I know they aren't really frizzled as chicks).

Probably a cockerel judging by his comb, and looks like a white rock cross.I'm like 99% sure he is. He's huge and takes up a lot of space so we recently tried moving them to my parents place. They have a big pen and a few hens. I was sad to see them go but they would've had more space. But it didn't work out. the other hens started to really chase Ms. Frizzle around and she's smaller so I didn't feel comfortable leaving her and I didn't wanna keep her alone so I brought her and the other (Alfredo) back. The all white (Panini, horrible I know lol) fit right in though and needs the space so we kept him there. These are the only pictures I have right now. They're screenshots of the video after we opened the cage after the transfer. As you can see he doesn't really even fit in the cage we moved him in. He was hesitant to come out but loved the new space after.

Definitely not a leghorn, leghorns are very light and much smaller than that cockerel. They also have white earlobes.Your pretty big boy looks like a White Leghorn!I believe I have a two-week old WL, too.

Ah, okay! I know for sure it's a cockerel/rooster, but I guess I misread where his lobe was. Because in all the red on his face, I saw that white dot, but I guess that's not his earlobe? And thinking it was, and also based on how huge his comb is, I really thought he was a White Leghorn, but I did think he was awfully huge.Definitely not a leghorn, leghorns are very light and much smaller than that cockerel.
