Well, I think everyone was right, but hopefully some experts will confirm. Here are the boys at 6 weeks today! My how time flies. I wanted to keep my word about posting pictures as they matured. I will continue to until they are gone. I will have to get rid of them very soon. Since they have to go the kids have not gotten attached nor have they changed their names.
"Charlotte" is the bigger one," Holly" the smaller. They are most defiantly playing the rooster fighting games and are very attached to each other.

Well. sorry I am a day late. It was rainy yesterday but today ended up being worst, so I brought them in.
The lighting is definitely off as it is so very dark out and our walls are not the color they appear in some of the shots, but I tried the best I could. Let's see they are 7 weeks today. We have not changed their names just to try and keep it easier for now. Charlotte was the first to hatch about 8 hours earlier than Holly. Right from the start they both had tail feathers come in very early, Holly had a longer wing feather on each side that Charlotte did not have. As of today, I still think that Charlotte is perhaps a pullet, probably just wishful thinking.
She does not have the stance that Holly does, she seems lower to the ground, and does not crane her neck like Holly. Yes, she has a larger waddle,which is probably way too big for their age unless she is a he, however; Holly's is getting redder than hers even though his came in a little later. For some reason Charlotte reminds me of Collette, and Holly reminds me of Ricky. I do believe that Holly is a Hollis, he definitely is all boy. I suppose that Charlotte is too.
Well, here they are.

Well, as you can see for some reason Charlotte's comb is crooked,
odd as both Collette and Ricky's are not. Charlotte is still obviously bigger and yes, so is "her"chest compared to Holly. She also has more of her feathers in than Holly. I know two boys, especially when I search out other pullets at this age, none of them have the size of these guys comb and waddles.
