Any gender guesses on these RIRs?

[HereChickChickChick88]

bought some hatching eggs - hatched these RIRs... any gender guesses? Will be 4 weeks this Friday. Sorry for the picture quality - these ones are skiddish (haven’t handled them as frequently as previous hatched).

A bit young yet. Generally any boys will get a Pink comb by 5-6 weeks of age, so watch for them.

Is it just me, or do your babies not really look like RIRs? I could very well be wrong, but the "eyeliner" doesn't seem characteristic of the breed. Either way, CUTE!!!
Agree with oldhenlikesdogs, another couple weeks should reveal their gender. Could you update us later on?

I will update - they probably are mixed - sold as “RIR” but no biggie, still will fit in here

Okie dokie!
Not at all, mixed breeds are every bit as wonderful.

Too young.
Please post pictures of their combs when they are six weeks old.
Also, they aren't RIRs. Maybe Welsummers.

Most likely mixed breed, which will be a lovely addition to your flock. early yet to tell. Stance of back chick in pic #2 looks rooish!!

X2 on all points. What color(s) were the eggs you hatched?

Damnit, lol - oh well. I don't care, honestly. I don't like them being advertised as something else but I will love the chickens none the less. I just love taking care of my chickens and collecting eggs... very therapeutic.

the coloring just doesn't look like RIR's. I don't like dishonest advertising either. I'd raise a stink about them anyway.

I'm sure they are just as lovable. Just would like to let the seller know- bycers are on to her/him.
