What genders could these two be please?

With the five in the pen, they seem to be doing okay. There was an additional little EE cockerel in there, and he was terrified of the big roos. I took him out and he has his own little harem now and is free ranging peacefully.

I have so far been very lucky with my males. Next Spring, I'm going to be adding a bunch of hens, but they won't be old enough for several months. I'd try to raise some from chicks now, but I already have four OEGB inside, three rabbits (that are going outside soon!), a blind Silkie and her cockerel friend, and two newly hatched ducklings which will need to overwinter in the relative warmth of my trailer. Last thin I need is a bunch of chirping chicks, lol
I currently have five roosters living peacefully in a small pen. There are no squabbles, and they are even joined by two other roosters and two hens in the coop at night.

Sadly, these guys are meant for freezer camp. I may keep one of the Legbars and see how it goes with him and integrating into my small flock.

I also have two Bantam Cochin and one Silky rooster doing okay right now together, with two hens. They are from this Spring though. I'll have to keep my eye on them next year, as we don't want to have to get rid of any of them.
Sounds like a lovely setup you have there 🥰 I am going to try and achieve the same thanks for the insight ☺️
