Come back in 2-4 weeks with pictures of the full chicken.

2 Week update here is chick 1 “Chunk” they are both relatively calm except they will fight occasionally with but so do the other chicks so i’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or roo behaviour not much else they are both very friendly but so is every other bird in the brooded i will update again in 2 more weeks

Here is chick 2 who is very clearly not what the person said they were but they are very sweet and fall alseep when you hold them but other then that they act like every other chick!

Edit: they’re also very clearly a frizzle!

I can't tell for sure.

Neither one is obviously male, to my eyes, at this point.
But they are young enough that some males would not be obvious yet. (Some would, some not.)

So they might be females, or they might be slower-maturing males. I think they are more likely to be females than males, but I wouldn't bet either way on those chicks at this age.

may i add the both had decent tail feathers at 1 week so i’m not sure if that applies too this breed but we have 1 barnevelder in the brooder who is three weeks and only just started developing tail feathers.

Edit: but you can see in the images that they have got pretty big legs
