I have 3 Rhode Island Red chicks and I'm wondering if it's possible to sex them at this age? Two of them are quite a bit larger than the third and have more feather growth, and also are more outgoing. I've attached pics. :)

Nervous about this chick, because we just learned they will not allow roos in our area! We thought we got lucky because the brown on the wing came in first, but now she's starting to get dark... she also has very long wings and we read that was a pullet trait. I know Salmons have been coming out...
Hi all,
