Hello so these two where bought as pullets a few months ago now they are about 4 and half months old I have my doubts what are your thoughts one has a slightly lighter comb then the other but both act like roos jump and kick me as I go in and bite now and then. They will stay either way as I keep my roos just a little curious

I've never seen such small combs on cockerels this age! My same age pullets have almost the same size combs as them. But the hackle feathers suggest they're cockerels. Also hens don't spur.

Are the ones getting bullied hens? My silkie rooster are doing this. They will grab into a hen's feathers with their beak and not let go for 5-10 seconds while the hen runs away and cackles loudly. I think it is mating behavior if they are hens.

Also my silkie roos are the same age as your cockerels.

No they are pecking and chasing growers of the same age not mating behavior I have roosters and know it's not mating behavior they are plucking and chasing. Any sex to they try and pluck my old buff rooster they try and pluck and chase older and younger hens if bully prison doesn't work I might have to keep them in there own run which is a shame
