Barred rock roo’s ?

[Bropeep]

These two are only about five weeks old but the comb and wattles are both pretty prominent already. One seems to have their tail feathers coming in like my two buff Orpington pullets. Anyone else want to take a look and give their opinion. One rooster we can manage but two I worry we will run into problems down the road.

The first picture looks like a pullet, but the second one could be a cockerel. Cockerels generally have much lighter coloring, so wondering if the different lighting in both photos is making a difference. It makes the comb look a little redder than I think it is, too.

Could you take some more of the second bird? (S)he could also possibly be a pullet.

ETA: Just a tip, sexing questions and breed identification usually fall into the “What breed or gender is this?” forum.

No worries, though! I understand you are new to this site… so welcome to BYC! Glad you joined the flock!

I would say cockerels.

Cockerels.

Here’s a few more photos. The one to the right in the middle picture has longer tail feathers.

The first one is a cockerel. The second one is likely a cockerel as well.

Thanks for taking a look!
