Now that I have seen you WL they are not white leghorns... they are DEF California Whites because of the black spots (California Gray BARRED x White Leghorns) And you DEF have 2 boys that are the result of a Sex Link cross. You have a Solid roo over a barred hen = BSL roos!

x2

WL does that= white leghorn if so that explains the earlobes but what about the featherd feet could that be barred cochin??? maybe??
i also have a BSL roo that has the red in his wings if that helps any. but i do say #2 or freddy is a roo #1 its trans-gender

 

[bloom_ss]

Definitely roos...and not Barred Rocks either. Looks like mixes of some sort.

He/she will sure be pretty when his/her head is completely healed! I still say SHE is too sweet to be a roo, but probably cuz I gave HIM so much love and care when IT got hurt!

So you think one of the now-known-as California Whites, not White Leghorns, is mom? Obviously my Cochin is the dad. Why can't the all important sexing be easier?????

Hen and a rooster. The hen is the one missing feathers on the head. Most likely from being ridden by the boys, could be from wire but most likely from aggressive roo.

Mixed mederatanian breeds are difficult. Hope I am right.

Now that I see the new pictures, I agree with you. One looks like a female.

I hope we are right! I wouldn't say anything is 100% yet though. at 3 1/2 months my BR (I know not the same breed, but anyway) had really developed hackle/saddle/sickle feathers. He even had them a month earlier.

 

[HenThymes]

They are both cochin crossbreeds and yes BOTH are boys, sorry.

 

[annageckos]

No doubt, both roos. I can see saddle and hackle feather on both. Beside that the red in the wings in a male trait. Everything about these two says 'roo'.
