I have what I'm told are a Golden Sebright Bantam and an Old English Game bantam. Does anyone have any idea if Marigold and Chicken Parm are hens or destined for the freezer? I feel like Parm looks a bit suspicious with that comb.

Also, do those breeds sound about right?

Breeds do sound about right.​
Your second one is definitely a female. She has the female pattern.​
I'll go with female on the first one just from the comb lacking color.​
 
I mean…they both sound delicious…but they don’t look delicious. Someone asked a while back if their chickens were “meals or females” 😆 I guess yours are both!
