What breed and sex?

[Juan de]

I an concerned about these two because they are always the first to come to me and always let me grab them and i cant keep roosters in my area so it would suck having to get rid of them but i am sure the first one is a boy but not sure about the other one they look similiar but they arent.

Forgot to mention they are 8 weeks and 2 days old.

Until they crow, you just don’t know!

so sorry...at 8 weeks two cockerels. Their combs are way too red for eight weeks. Pullets would not have advanced comb and that color until 16-18 weeks.

do they have feathered shanks?

Definitely looks like a hen to me. Some breeds she might be: Delaware, Sussex or Brahma. Could you send a picture of her whole body so I can see all the patterns and colors?

They both appear to be pullets. If you bought them as pullets, they probably are. They might be mixed, or Indian Rivers chickens... I don't know enough about the breed to be sure.

I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but at 8 weeks, both are cockerels.

As far as breed, they're not Brahmas with those single combs.

Definitely cockerels if they are 8 weeks old. For breed, check the legs. If they are white, then light Sussex is your breed. If they are yellow, Columbian Plymouth rock is your breed. If they are green, blue or black, then probably mixed breeds.

Definitely has some sort of Light or Columbian coloring. Looks 90% cockerel
