Rooster Paranoia?

Hello! I picked up these girls from the pulley bin on March 5th. The kid working said they were two weeks old. Maybe the red ones were, but neither of the black chick had but a hin of a wing feather, so I think they were younger. That puts us at 5-7 weeks old(ish). Can I get your opinions on breed and sex of these girls, please. My mind is on overdrive!

Thanks for the replies! Any idea why the little black one is developing so strangely? This girl has fathered all wacky and out of order compared to her sister. She is smaller overall, but has the bigger Conv and wattles. Legs seem to be the same. And her feathers are a bit curly and frizzy. Chickens are hilarious!

Out of curiosity, what makes you say Pullets?

Will do! Let’s hope nothing changes!

All look like pullets! They have small pale combs and wattles. As for the odd feathering, all chicks develop a bit differently, and they'll probably all even out eventually.

Heres the 8 week update on my RIRs. Do 8 week old Pullets get wattles like Jacki? (The last pic is my other pulley from the same batch, for comparison) What do y’all think?

I still say pullet.
