Roo or Hen..... PLEASE HELP ME for the sake of my kids!!!!

[Firezone102]

I am a new chicken owner and I need some help. I have 2 BO and I need to know what sex they are. I live in NYC and I cant keep males. We hatched the eggs so it is a guessing game. Before my kids get too attached (kinda there already) i would like to find a home for them. Next we will order day old as to avoid this problem!!

They are 8 weeks old!!!
Chicken 1

Chicken 2

Thank you in advance!!!!!

8 weeks old? I guess all roos. I have 8 week old BO's also and one is a roo - he looks just like those. The other two have no red at all.

 

[Firezone102]

Thats what I am wondering. Does the red definitely mean males??

I am new to chickens, but I would say roos. I have 3 14 week old buff orpingtons and they do not have combs that size yet...

Not exactly, it all depends on what age they are when their comb reddens. A hens comb will begin to redden when they reach laying age (which is about 20+ weeks in BO's).
8 weeks old and a comb that size and that red, I'd say they're roosters.

Both boys for sure.
