Gender help please.

Let me know if you need better pics. They were lazing in a box my daughter put down for them in case they wanted to hide and it was the easiest time to get a pic of the fast moving buggers. Neither pic is great. One gives a better view of the bird in front and the other the one in back.

How old are they? And what's their breed? They do look like pullets to me, I'm not extremely experienced though

Looks like one cockerel and one pullet.

Looks like black australorps pullets but how old are they?

 

[Zirallan]

They're mutt chickens. Not real sure of the parentage. I think they're 7 to 8 weeks old but I've lost track of the hatch date. That's what I get for not immediately putting it on the calendar.

We got them from a friend who breeds her chickens for dark egg colour and good egg production if that helps at all for breed. They're almost solid black with just a little white on their wing feathers.

Which do you think is which? I've got 2 with the redder colour in the comb and the one that's paler/still yellow.

Cockerel right and front. It really is only a guess based on the width of the comb at its base.

You just picked out my friendliest bird. Zoning laws what they are, I now have a problem.

I may be wrong. Wait a few more weeks.
