Mystery chicks! What do we have?

We received two gifted chicks... unknown age, unknown breed, unknown gender!

I’m thinking they resemble red sex links (golden comet, red star, etc) but am worried they might be Roos. They were all yellow when we got them about a week and a half ago.

-Editing to add pics outside of the red light (same chicks)

I don't think that they're ISA Browns, but I'm not sure exactly what they are. They are cute, though!
Also, is your leg all right? I see a big band-aid on there.
Thank you, yes just a long scratch :)

Weve had a gold sex link and New Hampshire Red that were similar as yellow chicks but none quite looked like this feathering. I do remember our black sex link having a large comb early like this and I freaked out that it she was a he and she’s one of our best and sweetest ladies now. Hoping the same goes with these little ones!
 
Update :)

Here we are a little over a month later. They definitely feathered buff!

I’m still thinking cockerel for both 😢.

Could you get a photo of them without the red light? I think I see buff feathers so possibly Orprington : )
Yes!! They are in a very ugly stage of feathers right now 😂😂😂

The two under the light do look like cockerels.
What color are their legs?
