Hi I recently acquired two thought to be pullets. I was told the colorful one has the Easter egg gene and would produce blueish eggs. Although he is starting to seem like a rooster. They are 2 months old at the moment. He/she just seems to be larger and more in control than the other. Also he lays down in the grass a lot more than any of my other 3 chickens which I’m not sure may be a sign of a male. Please let me know if you can tell the sex of them and maybe what species they are. Thank you

The breed of the first one is a green queen. Green queens can have faverolle and Easter egger in them. He’s a cockerel due to his coloring (laying down in the grass isn’t a cockerel trait).
Can you get a picture of the other chick showing its whole body?

Is laying down in the grass a hen trait? Or is it not a trait at all (generally curious)

Is there ever a chance of a hen being colored like so, only reason I’m trying to be optimistic is I already have two roosters and I feel 3 would be to many. He was supposed to be a hen lol if so I need to search for a rehome.
 
Their species is gallus gallus domesticus (just domestic chickens)! Their breeds are mixed. The colorful one is definitely a cockerel and looks to be a Salmon Faverolles cross most likely, the other is a pullet *could* be part Buff Orpington :)

Edited to add that in terms of species it's just gallus gallus (Red Junglefowl). The domesticus is just denoting it's subspecies! Just dawned on me I didn't clarify :)
