I bought these 2 from a lady downsizing her flock. They are olive Eggers, they were 14 week's when I got them. The cross parents are cream legbar and FCM. I can't tell if they are roosters or pullets. They are 2 days from 17 weeks old in the photos.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Both cockerels.
I was pretty sure the bigger lighter colored one was a Male. I was holding out hope the other was a female. It's much smaller in size body, head, and legs. How do you tell they are roos?? I try and looked for saddle feathers, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I'm new with young chicken sexing.

Not even looking at the comb here is some give away spots in the feathers.

They’ve both got sone saddles poking out, the one has leakage on the wing, and both have long skinny hackle feathers.
