Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

[NatJ]

Their combs might be redder in the picture than they truly are because of the lighting and it was in the 90's yesterday so possible flushing?

Definitely a possibility.

As far as the rooster suspect... Size-wise, he's about the same size as the BR.

I was asking about size, because I was still wondering whether that chick is a Golden Buff (pullet), or maybe one of the meat-cross hybrids. But I would expect a meat bird to be noticeably larger by now, so probably not that.

The one we thought was a meat chick initially is actually the one that's looking more RIR, Ruby is now her name and she is super sweet. Ruby and Queenie seem to be the largest, but none are overly large compared to each other. Also, Daisy's feathers are coming in the same way, colors and all, as Ruby's were at the same stages so I'm pretty sure they're the same breed and she was ordered as a brown egg layer pullet.

I appreciate all the help, by the way!

@NatJ @renk777 So, this is a very late update now! They are 4 months and 3 months old respectively! Dot/Einstein the BR is a roo, but hasn't crowed at all and is super chill personality-wise. Luna, our super crower, and Queenie, crows off and on, sadly are roosters as well, good eye on that one @NatJ. The rest are pullets/hens unless they didn't sex Ethel the Polish at the Hatchery correctly. Her crest is far wilder than Lucy's nicely rounded one. Breed-wise, I think Luna and Queenie are Olive Eggers, Bellatrix at best guess is an Australorp, Daisy and Ruby are either RIR or NHR, Rue is a Golden Buff, Lucy and Ethel are obviously White Crested Black Polish, and Blackberry is a Partridge Cochin. Sadly, Queenie is likely to be rehomed since his personality towards the others is terrible. Bloodied up the Polish's heads and picks on all the others as well. Pictures to follow!

Thanks for the update!
I really enjoy looking again at the young photos where we guess gender and breed, and then seeing the grown-up photos of the same birds!
