What kind of chickens are these? Genders?

[Jessthebest]

I've had both of these chickens since about a week old. I never thought I'd own chickens, but the conditions they were in at the supply store were heartbreaking and now here we are. I'm not entirely sure of the breed or gender of either, my golden comet has already began laying so I know she's a girl, but she's a bit older. Please help?

I see a Production Blue, & Light Brahma.

Light Brahma looks like a possible Cockerel.

I was afraid of that. I keep them inside in a spare room that's been chicken-proofed at night, and the white one likes to perch on top of a desk.

But the blue looks like a female?

Agree on breeds.

Age?

They're four, almost five months I believe. The rural king told me they were a week when I got them but I learned on here yesterday that may not have been the case.

The Brahma seems to genuinely like being held and pet? Is that typical for a Cockerel?

It was for mine.

That's exciting! He had pasty butt so bad he almost didn't make it when I got him so I've always had a soft spot for him. I'm glad him being a Cockerel won't make him hate me hahah

Production Blue looks to be male - saddle feathers and hackles, but the Brahma doesn't have male specific feathering so it might a pullet if it's already 4-5 months
