What breed and gender are these two youngsters?

No gold. We can only keep one rooster for space and neighborhood reasons.

I would wait at least another month. I would say 10 weeks is a pretty good guess on age, usually by 14 weeks cockerels are really obvious. Is it a trick of the lighting or do they have some gold in their coloring?

Update: 10 days made a big difference! The Dark Cornish is absolutely a rooster. He began crowing yesterday and his saddle feathers are coming in beautifully. The two barred chickens, are what I believe are California Gray hens. Their pointy tails are a dead giveaway.
