New chicks older one is Rhode island red and younger is - Page 2

Looks pure breed to me.I am pretty sure this rir is a rooster.
My RIR rooster had smaller pointed tail feathers than my hens.I have been able to guess the gender of most of my chicks by their pointed or rounded tail feathers,but guessing by the saddle feathers near the tail and the hackles on their neck is easier for me.Males will normally have pointed saddle and hackle feathers and females will have rounded.Sometimes a male's comb will grow faster than the hens and turn red faster.
They are so cute! 
I can't wait until spring!

OH MY GOSH!! Your RIR looks exactly like mine (Sorry no picture right now). We've been very worried that ours is a rooster too.
(S)He looks different from our others (1 RIR, 2 barred rocks) and sets himself(herself) apart from the other 3. Ours are 9 weeks. I still hope it's a hen because we have a noise ordinance and can not have a roo.
Good luck to you. Not sure what we will do with ours.    We are attached.
PS. We have five other hens (13 weeks) and none of them looked quite like this at any age.

Hey,who knows for sure,I thought for certain that my splash andalusian was a hen.Today I found out he's a rooster.

How cute!! I love rir I have like 40 plus and I tried to figure out what mine were too and I found until they got there combs it was pretty hard. the ones i guessed were all wrong so im probably the last person you want advice from

serious though my roo has alot of black on the tip of his tail and its very narrow

That's pure Rhode Island Red ROOSTER. My rooster looked just like that when he was a baby as did his mate. I sold his brother for $15.00 dollars a few days before Christmas. If I could figure out how to post pictures without someone having to do it for me I'll post pictures of my chickens. Most likely be showing my Rhode Island Reds off. Rusty my main man is SO handsome. But pushy when it comes to food. I have to shove him back when I'm going to throw a handful of feed to the flock. I think his mate Bunty is going to start laying within a month maybe more. I also have another pullet whose mother is Red Sexlink and her father is a Rhode Island Red. What would that make her? A double Red Sexlink? Please tell me.
