Nice looking chickens I'm guessing their breed is: Buff Orpington

I'd go with Buff Orps as well. Fine looking fowl!

I would guess cockerels from the color of the combs at 5 weeks.

Not certain on the gender but I would agree it's definitely a buff orpington. I would agree it looks like a roo right now who knows for sure

My first thought is males also, for that age, combs are pretty red. You could post photos at "what gender or breed is this."

Thank you. Kids won't be too happy tho if they are Roos then I'm afraid they will have to be rehomed. How long before I can tell for sure?
