4 Chicks -2 Harco, 2 Isa Brown, need confirmation on sex

I'm not familiar with Harcos, but they're not screaming cockerel at this point. 

If the ISAs are indeed ISAs, they're both female. ISA browns are a sex link bird. This means the sex is linked to the color. Gold is female, silver is male. Both your chicks are clearly gold, so they're female. 

I have to disagree with you...I have 3 RR and an ISA, these are screaming RR and showing nothing of an ISA, I'm pretty sure ISA Browns are golden when chicks(if female), with solid golden wings...no pattern. These are identical to my RR chicks.

^^ That's very likely, as the breed was not mentioned upon buying them.
The shop just mentioned 'definitely laying hens' and the most common laying hens here are Isa Browns so I supposed these are Isa Browns, seems that assumption was wrong then and these birds could be more like meat birds ? But could #1 be different from #2 as there are clear differences between the 2 birds ?

Yes they are meat birds but not like Cornish Cross, no health/leg issues! They're great layers (so I've been told) but mine aren't quite there yet! I can say they are huge chickens and eat everything, but so so sturdy and sweet! I just purchased a few more but because I fell in love with disposition. You won't be disappointed with them.

I'm pretty sure they're both RR's! One may be developing slower than the other. One may just like to eat more! Out of my two, 2 week old Red Rangers, one of them clearly is much larger and sturdier, she just eats all the time!

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. I said "IF they're Isa....". The OP presented them as such, so I went with it. I agree seeing them feather out, they're not, so not sex linked. I do think the larger chick looks like some type of red broiler, with those thick legs, etc. I'm not seeing any cockerel signs yet, though.

The dark birds do appear to be black sex link pullets.

I completely misread your post and I apologize!!! But yes I agree thinking they're broiler or RR, they're identical to my RR's.

Yep. I still think ISA Brown # 2 is a pullet. Can you post a pic of the Harco's tails? I couldn't really see...

Not sure on the Rd Rangers but the black and brown ones look like pullets.

 

[dries86]

Yup pretty sure about them, also sure about RR #1. Just RR#2 is possible rooster imo. Anyone has a picture of a RR rooster at around 5-6 weeks ?
