Hen or rooster?

[Ribh]

I was approached by a new member @Margaret Forsyth , for help with these 2 birds. Unfortunately she chose a member who keeps an all hen flock & has no experience with roosters. Yes, I have her permission to post this.
She doesn't know the breed but says they are about 5 months old. This is the only picture I have. Hopefully she will sign in & can answer any questions you guys might have. Thanks so much for any & all help.

They are both cockerels.

Thank you. I did think they might be but as I said, I don't keep roosters.

Maybe Delawares and both boys.

Could be a Coronation Sussex.

or they could be a cross.

Mixed breed cockerels. They’re bearded so I guess they could also be some variation of an Easter Egger. Cute little boys.

Mixed breed cockerels. Both are bearded and the one on the left has lightly feathered legs.

Thanks, Kayla. I had no idea. Lots of breeds we don't see out here that you get in the States.

Thanks again. Lots of extra info coming in that hopefully Margaret will find useful.

A few years ago someone imported Black Penedesencas into Australia. During quarantine they were found to have some relatively benign disease and were to be disposed of. Do you have any updates on that?
