Need help with breed and gender of Week 8 chicken

[mokc92]

Hi all I'm new to rearing chickens. Got two chickens from day one old (one lighter colored and another darker colored) and they are now abt 8weeks old.
1) Wonder if anyone can shed light on their breed? Not sure if these are New Hampshire Red or Red Rangers or Freedom Rangers.
2) Also can anyone shed light on whether they are roosters or pullets? The darker colored chicken has its comb orangey red since Wk4 (see last pic of the same chicken at Week 4) so I'm hoping the lighter colored one is a pullet.
Any advise is much appreciated. Thanks!

Brown leghorn pullet maybe?

I think you have production reds. One looks very much like a male too.

Dead opposite answers

I wanna say new hamp... but they are a bit too light for that..
and the very bottom picture... the left one is a boy :/ so I think that's the darker one correct?

Actually yes, that does look like a male with a closer look.

Brown leghorns coloring is a lot more like a welsummers then these very red birds.

The dark tail feathers made me think perhaps new Hampshire too but I agree they are on the light side for that.

Yes for the last picture (the darker one had the wattles early so likely a cockerel).

The lighter colored one has comb and has developed wattles as well (but smaller and not as red as the darker colored chicken) and loves to jump out of the confined area, (so am not sure if the lighter one is a cockerel as well?). Was initially hoping to raise them as per and for their eggs. So now wondering if I have two cockerels or still have chance that the lighter colored chicken is a pullet? Any advise?

Brown leghorn mixes maybe

Dixie/Rainbow/Pioneer. Different hatcheries have different names for them.
