I have 2 RIRs. 3 Asian blacks. 1 of my ABs is a rooster. Confirmed by crowing and behavior. They are all about 13 weeks old. I posted weeks ago when they were smaller and all thought the RIRs were roosters. I’m curious if updated photos have the same opinion. They don’t act like my AB rooster and stay mostly with the females. Sleeps on the higher roost with them while big boy is on the bottom roost. They don’t crow either, while it may be a bit early. Also, relative has 2 RIR hens that are almost identical to mine. Hard to get great photos

Both RIRs are male. The females are yellow arrows, males are blue.

How old are they?
Never mind, I see others commented with what my response was going to be, just wanted to ask age to see if I had a comparable picture of my RIR hens!
Edit - this is a pic of my RIR when she was 12ish weeks, for comparison. She’s less glossy in her feathering, comb and wattles are still pretty small and pale.
