How old are they? They both look like roos to me right now, gray especially, can't see the back really on brown baby, especially since it is so many colors, but those also look like saddle feathers coming in.
 
I am pretty sure that they are both males. If one of them was to be a female, it would be Brown Baby, but even he has a large, pink, comb.
 
How can you tell? I have 2 of these birds, they are about 12-14 weeks and am wondering what they are also. Do the have identifying marks?
They have the common shoulder patch that most roosters have and their combs are pretty big and red for that age. You should create your own thread and post some pictures for people to help sex them. :)

They are the same age but one is bigger and bossier-combs are not especially big or red..maybe they are both hens. I will try to post some pics as you suggested. If I have a roo I would love to hatch some of these birds-they are sweet and beautiful to look at. Thank you for your help.
