Breed and gender? What do you think? *pic heavy*

We've had these chicks for almost 4 weeks, but I don't know their hatch dates so they are probably older than that. I'm pretty sure some are older than others. Let me know if I should post more pics.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Chick #1 - probably the oldest, most feathered out, gender and breed?

Chick #2 - breed and gender?

Chick #3 - pretty sure she's an EE pullet

Chick #4 - BR for sure, pullet?

I can't believe how fast they grow. From this:

Thanks for your responses!

 

I was hoping #1 wouldn't be a roo. He is so sweet, and I love the way he gives me stink eye. Maybe he'll be a really quiet roo so we can keep him. Wishful thinking? Probably.

#1 is most definiately a rooster.  I don't think he is Rhode Island Red tough.  There are patterned feathers on his back.  I have some hens that look quite a bit like him, they are from a 1/2 New Hampshire 1/2 Rhode Island Red rooster over Welsummmer hens.
