Mixed breed chickens. Need help identifying.

Other than being rescues do you have any additional information on them? Were they rescued from a feral chicken population? The one on the perch is definitely a cockerel. The one of the ground appears to be a pullet. They are both single-combed I think. They could possibly be a Light Sussex cross? Kind of hard to know for sure, but I don't think they are pure-bred.
They came from a feral population. I am trying to re-home them but may need to place them back in the wild? I am solely talking about the white birds. I know what the rest of mine are. I have a total of 24 chickens of all ages and am only confused with these two since I took them in to be of service. The sexing is right on, I thought the same thing. Not only do they have characteristics of a cockerel and pullet their behaviors are in-line too. Thanks for the feedback. They are all funny lookin at this age, so it can be hard to pin point. Sexlinks are big here in Hawaii but they don't have any red characteristics. Sussex is good idea, but I don't know how they are in the wild. I guess I'll never know since I wasn't there. 🤣

Honestly, if they integrate well and you can keep them, I would. I wouldn't turn them loose.
 
I was hoping you wouldn't say that! They are great and have done very well with my flock. You push me to reconsider :jumpy
I'm a terrible enabler. But they are just two wittle babies after all.
