Two RIRs? Age, gender = ??? [pic heavy]

Pullets? Cockerels?

I'm guessing they're about... 14 weeks old?
EDIT: Maybe 9 weeks? I'm clueless...

On Saturday when they went to join the hens for a dust bath, they both flared their neck feathers. o.o

And some more pictures...

And here's one of the hens you can compare to...

They look like hens but they are not RIR's, they look mmore like buff orpingtons.

maybe they are RIR over BO....They look very much like my young BO s looked except maybe these girls are a bit darker........ I think they are both pullets

 

[Kittymomma]

They look like pullets and I agree with a bo/rir cross--they look like a girly version of a young rir/bo roo that I have.

 

[Prairie Orca]

Well, where they came from, there were only RIRs and bantams.

He may have had BOs in the past, then.

Pullets, eh? Sweet. I picked those two from the rest of their siblings because their combs were more pink than the rest.

Thanks for all your input, folks.

Sorry,both are boys

got to agree here. The combs and waddles are too red and too big for that age. And I think they're BO too, white legs, body type and color all lead to BO.

Definitely not buff orpingtons. Their colouring is off. I say you have a BO and RIR cross there. The sex really depends if they're crossed or not. But I'm going to have to say you have two pullets there.

My guess is two young cockerels. It's hard to know how old without a size comparison. The legs look rather stalky and large red combs/wattles. I don't see any sickles, so I'm thinking younger than 14 weeks.

Pullets - 4
Cockerels - 3

Added a couple more pictures, and a picture of one of the hens.

And maybe a guess at their age too, if possible? The guy never told me...
