2 questions about some 4 week old chicks

Question #1
I have pictures here of my Barred Plymouth Rock, and of 2 of my Speckled Sussex. The BPR and the one SS got feathers way faster than the other SS and they are much bigger. What sex do you think I have here?

SS#2

Question #2
I have 5 chicks that I bought from TSC labeled as "Red Pullets" with the possibility of being Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshire Reds, Red Sex-Links, or Production Reds. What do you think I've got? The first feathers they got were white wing feathers. Will they become all red, or will they stay red and white?

Thanks for any information you can give me!

The "red" pullets are just that. A red mix, usually bred to allow sex determination at hatch. Usually awesome layers.
The Sussex are harder for me to sex at this age, although I have kept the breed and like them.
The Barred Rocks look like pullets to me. The dark background is usually the indicator, as is the black water mark streak down the front of the legs. You'll be very pleased, I suspect.

Barred rocks are pullets.

Your BPRs are pullets. Not sure on the others...

Not sure how old these chicks are but I'd say you have BR pullet, SS pullett, SS roo.... and the others don't have all the breeds they could be but they do not look like my RIRs... Hope that helps!

The first 2 look like pullets. Need a better pic but the last SS is looking rooish. Your other chicks are red sex links, I think.

Thanks for all the help. You guys have supported my theories on gender and breed.

One last question. Do Speckled Sussex roos or pullets feather first? I thought pullets always feathered first, but I read somewhere that it is different from breed to breed.
