What are these little chicks??

[BeccaLeigh]

Ok, so today the hubby brought home two more chicks to add to our flock. They were both given to him by the owner of a local, family-run feed store. She couldn't tell him much about the chicks, only that they seem to have been handled a lot, and are very friendly. She wasn't sure of breed, gender, or age. Any ideas??

They are definitely roosters and they look like some type of brahma or cochins

Maybe mottled cochin cockerels?

That's what they are

Oh wow..I just looked at some pictures of that breed and they are really beautiful! I didn't realize how small they will stay though...do you think it will be hard for them to fit in with the rest of my existing flock? I've got 3 laying hens that are a year old and 10 chicks that are a little over two months, 6 RIR, and 4 Buff O's (4 roosters in that group).
I guess I'm just worried size wise if they'll be ok with some of the bigger breed chickens. :/

Most do ok with standard size, mine do great

I sure hope so! I'm pretty attached to all my chickens, so I'm hoping they can get along. I'm definitely concerned with having so many roosters..so I guess I'll have to cross that bridge as they get older.
