I was at a local store and they were having a poultry sale and I decided to get a few chickens and ran across the guys while I was there.Though of having turkeys has cane to mind and finally decided to get them.I would say they were about two weeks when purchased and are about five maybe six weeks currently.

I am very anxious to know if I have Two Toms,I am going with yes just by the way they act and look.Thu fight and dominate a lot,lots of strutting.Was originally told it’s rare for hens to strut as young as they are and also was told Toms usually have a lot more growth.Well they match the description.They actually will puff at me and nip at feet.
Here they are,their getting new etahering as well as black and white fetahers,when purchased they were mostly white so am wondering what type as well,and how heavy and friendly they are.

Here they are-

While they really are still too young to positively identify them from photos, I agree that you probably have two little toms based on the heavy caruncle growth at such a young age. They possibly may be Royal Palms but I would not definitely say so without seeing their adult feathers.

Enjoy them.
