I know that the breed is legbar. When I purchased them I was told hens. I am pretty positive that the white one is a rooster since his comb and waddles have tripled in size over the past week or so. Plus he is now beginning to crow. The brown one I’m not sure at all. I got 3 of them together the other one I am sure is a hen. So I would love help with the brown one. These 2 were the same size when I got them.

All of the birds pictured are male. The dark breast is male specific for this color pattern, females would have a tan to red colored breast, like this:

My legbar based olive egger for a darker example of female coloring for this pattern
 
They are both crowing now. The person I bought them from is supposed to be trading them for hens since they were supposed to be ladies when I bought them.
