I got these from a farm store on the 23rd. I was told they were 2 days old at that time making them 1 week today. They told me they are BR's and RIR's.
Is it too early to tell if there are any roosters in the bunch? Here are pics.

Thanks for any guesses!
 
It might be a little too early to tell on the RIRs (at least for me) but the BRs you can look at the white spot on the head. Scattered it's a boy, concentrated it's a girl. From what I understand this is a fairly accurate way to tell the BRs. Feel free to get a second opinion though, I've already been proven wrong once today! LOL

Thanks Sorin for the reply. (I would have thanked you earlier but by daughter has been running a fever the past few days.)

About how old do the RIR's need to be to have a good guess at their gender?

Also can you tell if the BR's are indead the same age, one seems to be getting it's wing feathers a lot faster than the other.

Thanks!
