If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of food

Being a new breed to me and so little info about them on the net just wondering if anyone could sex them from that pic,I am wondering if the little one on the right is a wee lad he does seem more forward and holds a more upright stance and the head gear is more,well more!

Thats a hansom chicken! Is it a boy or girl?
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

We are almost certain they are both cocks,so hoping to get some more hatched this year and then start breeding them as they are so rare,yet so gentle and good looking and not destructive in the garden like some breeds.
