What breed are these?

I purchased two roosters. The orange one is huge. I’ve never seen a rooster that big and heavy. The people called him a dommer. The grey one is a normal size. Could you tell me what they are. Thank you in advance

I'm gonna say the orange one is a New Hampshire Red and the barred bird is a Black Sex Link. Just my guess.

Red Ranger and Barred Rock. Just a guess.

@Overo Mare would probably know for sure.

Looks like a Red Ranger and a BSL.

I agree the red one is a Ranger, looks a lot like ours. He is HEAVY, like a freaking tank

I did research and it said red rangers only live for 2 years. Is this true.

Mine isn’t even 3 months old yet, but I’ve read of people keeping them long term. So far I’m letting them stay around until they seem obviously uncomfortable. Such sweet roos

Yes my roo is respectful to the ladies and friendly to us. I’d hate for him to be short lived.

Not sure if the red rooster is a ranger, can you take a picture of him with another chicken as a size comparison? The other one does look like a barred rock mix.
