What breed are these and roo or hen?

[Tomczyk]

Hi, I got these two chicks from my sons class. I think one is a roo and one is a hen, when I sexed by wing feathers. seems that the "hen" is bigger then the "roo". I know alot of people say that the bigger the comb early on is a roo so now I am not sure what to think. I also do not know the breed. was told they might be white leg horns.

Looks like a Roo and hen. Not sure on Breed they do look like leghorns

which do you think is the roo?
when I checked their wing feathers a 3 days old the one with the larger comb looked to be a hen not a roo but now I am not sure

If they are the same age, I, too, would say Roo in back and pullet in front. They look very similar to my White Leghorn. If you gets white eggs from it someday, it's definitely a leghorn. Also, Leghorns have long tails that stick almost straight up sometimes. That's a decent identifier, too.

They were hatched out of white eggs and when I asked the 4H that the school got them from they really couldn't give me an answer about the breed. They guessed. My son said they hatched on the same day.

could there be the possibility that one is a broiler and one a layer? I mean since they couldn't tell me for certain what breed.
