First three are definitely roos... droopy green tail feathers, large comb/wattles.
Can't really tell from the angle on #4... any chance for a side shot or headshot?

How old are they?

 

[hot wing stables]

they are about 8 to 10 weeks old and they are bantams

i agree the 1st 3 are roo s and the last 1 is a hen. were your RIR's small around 5 wks old?

You're pretty good at hatching cockerels...all look like boys.

Well IMO I would wait a little longer and see. My RIR's I could not tell what they were until they were at least 12 weeks. The comb/wattles were about the same on my hens and roo's. The feet on the roo's should be bigger. Just MO. I didn't think I would ever be able to tell the difference.
