I got these little guys(?) when they were about 4-5 weeks old. They are now around 9 weeks. The one I am almost positive is a male, but the other is questionable. I have another that has a smaller comb, and it's still pinkish in color, but these two are constantly causing a ruckus in the box, and I noticed that both of the combs are quite red, and larger than the other one. They were supposed to be pullets, but apparently not. They also seem to be a bit aggresive toward each other and the pullets.

What do you guys think, both cockerels, or one cockerel and a pullet?

The top two pics are of the one in question, the bottom two are of the one i'm quite positive is a cockerel.


 
Those could be silver-laced sebrights... If so it could explain their aggresion. How small are they? The one in the second photo could be a female, but the rest look like boys.
 
Silkie Chick,

The one in the second photo is the same bird as the one in the first photo. The top two photos are the one I wasn't sure about, and the bottom two photos are the one I was quite sure of.
 
Both look like cockerels to me.

:th Whoops. Sorry, I was a little tired. That sick baby chick takes more out of me than I thought . :fl I am just very sidetracked hoping it will survive. Should have read your post better, my response is very confusing... I am a little confused myself.
 
Thanks everyone. I thought I was correct, but was a bit confused because the first one doesn't have a whole lot of white on it, as a matter of fact he has very little white on him, but the comb gave it away. LOL!

I have someone coming to pick them up today. No roo's allowed to bother my hens! Haha!

Aoxa, She is a beautiful hen! I hope mine grows up as pretty!

Just so you can rest assured that they're in a good home, here's the scene at our house right now:
