Ok, these two are 8 weeks old tomorrow. They are a blue and black orp bantams. Whatever they are, they are the same, I think. I hope the pics work, they were not being very cooperative.

At 8 weeks old a pullet would have no rosy color like that in her comb, if it were a standard size Orp. I say both boys. However, bantams are not my thing. I believe they redden up sooner than standards.

reason i say rooster (blue) hen (black). because the blue one looks like it has sickle shaped hackles (aka.. rooster hackles) black one.. not so much. blue has a curved tail feather.. Like roosters. could be wrong though. Also say the black looks like a hen because she/he looks IDENTICAL. to my Black langshan hen at that age :p
