Bantam chicks. Breed and gender?

[Chickentender321]

I rescued these two chicks. I believe at least one if not both are cockerels. Please let me know your thoughts! I also suspect that they are bantam spotted sussex but any ideas are welcome! They are 6 weeks old. I also want to know if they are Roos can I put them with adult hens for 4 weeks? I have other chicks that I’m planning on placing outside in their own coop but these bantams terrorize the silkie chicks I have.

Both are Old English Game bantam cockerels.

Both are cockerels. Adult females will likely thump them which will help them learn to be good boys rather than hormonal idiots (they will still be idiots for a time, but hopefully less so). Can't speak to breeds as I don't know much about bantams, but speckled sussex the brown one is not. The gold head isn't something the LF version have.

They both look like Old English Game bantams and they are both cockerels

Update on the bantams. The black one looks just like my adult bantam and not crowing. Brown has been crowing for a few weeks. Guess we’ll see if it crows or lays eggs eventually!

You won't be getting eggs from either of them.
