Two cockerels? I need confirmation

[Sue Gremlin]

I have two Easter Egger chicks that I believe are cockerels, but before I send them off down the road, I need confirmation.
What say you, wise hive? I am pretty confident about the black one, but I wanted to be sure about the gray with the rusty shoulders as well. They were hatched June 9th, making them 12 weeks old.

And if so, does anyone in SW Michigan want em? I may even deliver. And bring you flowers.

They are EEs, and boys.

Yes, thanks. Sorry, I stand corrected.
Appreciate the help.

The "rusty shoulder" coloring you see is a male trait. Just for future reference.

Agreed, both are cockerels.. I see saddle feathers coming in on them..

The grey color is known as blue, one of my favorites. Lovely birds!
