So I'm guessing both roosters?

They sure are handsome Roos. We have a mean roo and worry all the time about him attacking. We need to cull him but I positively cannot eat something I have bonded with so we are looking for someone who wants some roo stew to take him off our hands.
 
If he's attacking people, don't trade him. He should become an ex-rooster. Roosters are dangerous. They can easily cut you to the bone, and they are especially dangerous around children because kids' faces are closer to the ground. My big RIR roo's spurs are easily 3" long. Get rid of the aggressive bird right away. Here are my personal rules for roosters. Do with them what you will. You have to be alpha bird in your flock.
Cut you to the bone, What are you doing, sharpening them up? Its a rooster your a big human, put him in his place, if that doesnt work put him in the pot
 
He bit me once on the hand as I was pouring food into his bowl, so with the other hand I grabbed him around the neck. Last time he was ever aggresive with me, but last night he went after the dog and this evening as my 11 year old daughter was giving him fresh water he bit her on the calf hard enough to leave a welt. He's out of here.
 
I gotta say, whoever took them to the pet store probably knew they were cockerals and thought they could at least be useful feeding another animal. I guess now they just get to feed larger animals?

Here are the Redwicket Rules for Roosters
1. You shall look pretty. If you don't look pretty, you go to the stew pot.
2. You shall be nice to hens. Rough up the hens, you go to the stew pot.
3. You shall not breed hens in front of me. If you try to breed a hen while I'm around, I will kick you. Hard. Those are MY hens, buster.
4. You belong to me. Therefore, I will pick you up off the roost any time I feel like it. I will carry you upside down, I will tickle your toes, I will look at your feathers, I will call you "Itsy Bitsy Cutie Wooty Widdly Rooster Baby."
5. You shall not take one single offensive action towards any human. The first offensive action, no matter how small (like looking at me mean with feathers puffed up) will result in you immediately being chased around the pasture as fast as I can go while I scream and squawk and try to hit you with whatever I'm carrying. After this, you will be punished by being picked up and carried around all the time. See #4.
6. The second offensive action taken toward any human, no matter how small, and you go into the stew pot. There are no third chances.

He doesn't need to be sharpened up, nature provides him with a lovely sharp pair of weapons. Just as a viscious dog can never be trusted, a bull can never be trusted and a stallion can never be trusted, a rooster can never be trusted. I know ome person with a nasty scar on his thigh from his pet rooster. I've heard the horror stories of the stitches in people's faces. Put him in his place, yes. But if it isn't a valuable breeding animal (and these certainly are not) get rid of it. The OP has a young child. There's no way they should be keeping some random roosters that were meant to be snake food unless the Roos are at least not aggressive--and even then they should be watched as their personalities will change as they mature.

I have two good Roos right now. They've never made an aggressive move towards me or the kids. But I have a poor little hen in the hospital run right now that was spurred to the bone. It wasn't intentional, I don't think, but the cuts are several inches deep.

I jut want the OP to be aware of the dangers an aggressive rooster can pose. It,s ultimately their decision what to do with these rescued birds, but it does seem that the stew pot is the place for the aggressive boy at least--not traded away to become someone else's problem.
