I know these baby Brown Leghorns are likely still too young
(under 5 weeks) but would any of you lovely people take a guess, please? I think I have 1 of each but that's a purely uneducated guess as these are my first chickens 😊 thank you

Thank you! I do hope so but if I have a male, that's ok too. They are just over 4 weeks & yes, 2 different birds. The first one is slightly bigger & has a bit more colour around his neck & chest. The other one is SO bossy & def rules the roost, blocks the food etc sometimes....thats why I thought it's a hen but I have no experience so glad of others input 😊 I took them outside today for about an hour & they loved it! This chicken raising is addictive! Lol
 
They don't look pure for brown Leghorns. Comb size makes me think cockerels, but I see no wattle growth.
Oh ok. The guy I got them from said he hatched brown leghorns & cream legbars so was't sure which I got. Looking at pics online i've been assuming brown leghorns but maybe not. I don't mind what breed/mix they are though. I just love them anyway 😊

Then they are possibly Brown Leghorns X Cream Legbars crosses.
They're pretty either way!
 
Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
They're back in the brooder now so it's a bit more awkward to get pics but here's a few more. The one I thought might be a hen is on the left of the 2nd photo

Hi all, some updated photos, now these chicks are 8 weeks.
Pretty sure both are male but one has a much redder comb & bigger wattles than the other so still unsure as some hens seem to have pretty big combs. So does it def look like I have 2 roos? Thanks for your help

First one is a cockerel, second is a pullet.
Can you take some more photos of the second one?
