I think ya'll are right. They both look like Roosters. They are beautiful and sweet, with lot's of personality.

Look at blue bands neck feathers. If they are pointy, then it is a roo. If they are round, then it is a hen. Do the same thing with the saddle feathers.

It's so hard to tell with this breed of chicken. I think they both are Roo's. We should know for sure soon, about time for them to start practicing crowing.

I'm thinking both brown ones could be cockerels. And watch the black and white ones, if you see rust colored feathers starting to come in on their shoulders, then they could be cockerels too. They're all gorgeous btw!

Don't worry about rounded vs pointy. Those feathers are coming, and soon, but if you don't see them yet, don't be surprised. They start to appear at about 12 weeks, so you're almost there.
That said, yes, blue and orange are both cockerels. No pullet would have as much comb as blue at that age.

I thought he was a Roo from the first day I got him. Just something manly ( cocky pun intended about him).
