Any chance these are hens?

I'm just wondering how early the typical pullet (RIR/Production Red) starts to get medium pink or darker comb and wattles.

My three are only about 5 1/2 weeks. The pictures were taken today.






Each picture is of a different bird. Also at about the same distance from the camera.

Thanks for the input.

They look like roosters but maybe not. What breed are they?

She said they were typical pullet (RIR/Production Red)

I'd bet on both being roos.

Thanks for the input. I am trying to get current pictures of posture and stuff like that. But, that may take a few days.

Here's an update on my three "Cherry Egger pullets".



A close up or two.





Each of these pictures is of a different bird.

Wow look at those majestic combs and wattles. Looks strongly like young men to me.

Cockerals, my PRs did not get combs like that until after 18 wks.
