*Fingers crossed* I really hope they are.

Okay, here are the pictures, I've never posted pics before so I'm sorry if it doesn't work.

Thank You!
 
Thank you for your help! Any suggestions, if Zelda is a roo, on what to do with her? I can't have roos, I live in the city.

Aren't BR cockerels supposed to be much lighter in coloring than the females??
 
Zelda looks like a cockerel. Usually they are lighter, but that's not always the case. I've seen very light BR hens and very dark BR roos, so color isn't everything. The comb, however, is a more reliable early indicator.

Zelda is a pullet - her coloring, comb and legs all point to pullet. (can't really see the NHR well enough) I have only seen 1 case here where a BR had pullet coloring but was a male.

Male BR's look like this (He's 6 weeks here):
