    How old? Those are some big combs for that sized chick. They look to be what, 3-4 weeks old to me?

    They might be cockerels, their combs look big, what's their age and breed?

    Age would help. But, judging by comb size, I think it is very possible that both are cockerels.

    I was told that they're 3 week old Rhode Island reds.

    They do look like Rhode Island Reds, about 3 weeks old. Sorry, but yes, they're both looking like roos so far.

    I wanted laying hens but I guess I just won't get too attached to them :)
