Please sex 6 Week RIRs

Feathers and stance and tail aren't indicative of anything at 6 weeks. I'm confident in boys without more pictures

Actually, they can be helpful, though not totally necessary. I've had some chicks I thought were cockerels because they sprouted pink combs and wattles early on but turned out to be hens. You are right that they are probably boys.
 
Chicks 1-3 may be different in 2nd session as I had put them back after first photo session. So, please refer to photo session 1 or 2 to help me sex!

Thank you, everyone for all your help!!!!
 
All boys.

I would never use that hatchery again! Are you sure they didn't give you straight run or cockerels on accident? 6/8 chicks boys when they are supposed to be sexed pullets is NOT right.
 
Yes, they threw an extra chick in for 9 but one died. They adjusted ship date to April 4th.

Out of the 8 living chicks, that's only two out of 8 pullets. I can't believe it. They better give me a refund as I don't want anymore chicks from them. :-(
 
I tried a different hatchery as I usually use MPC. What a mistake.

I might try to keep one of the RIR cockerels to put over my 2 barred rock pullets. But, does anyone know if the no crow collar really works? I'm in the suburbs with neighbors close by.

Also, would a RIR cockerel over silver Easter eggers produce sex links or is that just with barred rocks?

The one brown on left is a welsummer....the other 3 Easter eggers.

Chickens for backyards is hatchery.....I'll keep everyone posted on there response and if they refund. I just emailed them all the pictures.
 
Wow my post vanished.

So, 2 questions...

1) does the no crow collar really work? I'm in suburb with neighbors close by.

2) could I put a RIR roo over silver Easter eggers to get sex links or would that only work with the barred rocks?
