I picked these 3 up from a friend asked me if I wanted them said take them if I do. Of course I did but she said that the blue were a pair.
Also any guesses on age?
I know that the one in back is a roo the one in front is the question

My guess is that the other will be a hen, though I am certainly no expert. Can you post a pic with something for size comparison, like a Coke can? Do they look full size to you?
 
I think they are both cockerels. The one with the bigger comb is obviously very young because of his relatively small comb. The other one, being the same age would have a practically nonexistent comb if it were a young pullet.
 
I can get better pics tomorrow . I just got them tonight. All I was told is that they were born 2 days apart the ? hen born first roo born after. They are about 71/2 inches by ruler . The for sure rooster has much thicker legs and obvious larger comb.
 
Combs can vary a lot, but the thicker legs about convinces me only one is a roo.

Well it's not a great pic but on the last shot you can see the difference in leg thickness and coms also saddle feathers on the roo look different but I am definatly not convinced but I sure was when I saw them I had to have both there for they had to be a pair lol.
