5.5-6 weeks RIR

I'd love some help figuring my RIRs. These two are my favorites and so friendly! There is only the slightest blush of pink in their combs (looks a little red, but I have a red lightbulb in the brooder)and no wattles yet. Thanks!! RIR#1 RIR #2 Also wondering if the few white feathers means that they are mixed? Maybe production reds?

Please?

Those are still a bit young. They don't scream rooster yet, but I'm not going to say 100% pullet either.

I'm leaning toward the first chick being a cockerel and the second chick being a pullet, but they're a little young to be sure. They do appear to be Production Reds, not heritage purebred Rhode Island Reds. Assuming they're pullets, you should get lots of brown eggs from them.

Thanks so much! I know it's really a waiting game, but I've always been impatient!

I agree.
