Any ideas on gender for RIR chicks

[MMH27]

I recently took in some RIR chickens and was curious if anyone knew how to tell the gender in them ! Any information helps ! Thank you !

Welcome to BYC. Nice, healthy looking chicks, but it is far to early to gender ID.

They're young to know, at least one does look like it could have a comb starting to get a bit bigger but at this age that could mean nothing. The ones I've hatched from my own flocks I knew the girls from the boys when some started getting tail feathers - the girls always got them well ahead of the boys. Not all lines are the same of course, and if they're hatchery all bets are off.

Thank you ! We were wanting some hens of course but definitely didn’t know much about the RIR chickens !

Thank you! We got them from a farm but he said he had no idea about gender as well ! One is definitely more pushy than the other ones trying to escape more and flying at the other ones !

Looking forward to seeing how they progress, keep posting pictures so we can see, it's so much fun watching them grow up
