I HACE TWO BABY ROOSTERS AS PETS. POSSIBLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING HENS. ANY ADVICE OF MY ROOSTERS WOULD BE AWESOME. NO IDEA WHAT KIND THEY ARE.

At this age there is really no way to tell their genders. Wait until they grow some more, then post updated photos in the "what breed or gender is this" forum. :)
 
Hi and welcome to BYC. Chicks can be sexed at birth by vent-sexing and some breeds can be identified through feather-sexing, so may be thats why you have been told their gender.

The Learning Centre is a great resource, even for experienced chicken keepers - loads of info on anything chicken. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

Joining your state thread will also put you in contact with other BYC members in your area.

(https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread)

The members here are amazing - very friendly and helpful, so if you need an answer to a question or simply want some reassurance that what you are doing is ok, then post away - we all help each other out here at BYC.

All the best

Welcome to Backyard chickens. I would hold off on getting any more till you know what you have now. A rooster can handle ten hens, any less and they get damaged. Hens will lay just as many eggs without a rooster harassing them.
 
It sounds like you are keeping them for pets not eggs since the hens seem to be an after thought?

You may actually find if you do have two roosters that they will get on a lot better and quite happily without any hens around. Once you add hens they may go from being friends to fighting it out to be head of the flock, often with quite nasty consequences. Unless you can add 15 or so hens you could quite possibly end up having to Rehome one rooster.
