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 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.
