    RiR sex... This ones easy

    This should be a simple identification but I am not sure which of these RIR is a rooster. I am assuming the RIR with the Green in the neck and in the tail is the rooster. I just want to make sure before we send it to freezer camp Thanks for your help! PS they are 4 months old... sorry I forgot...
