Are my Rhode Island Reds pullets or roos?

[kberndtson]

I purchased four one-week-old chicks from a young man who indicated they were all pullets. Two are Welsummers and two are RIRs. I'm pretty certain my Welsummers are roos (see pic), and now I'm beginning to question my RIRs as well. Can anyone tell me if these RIRs are girls or boys? I've included pics of one of them and they both look the same. The birds are now about 6 weeks old. I also included a pic of one of my Welsummer boys (I'm pretty sure?).

Not 100% sure but I think you RIR's are pullets.
I'm 100% sure the last picture is a rooster.

First 3 can be girls but last one is 100% roo and he is Leghorn not Welsummer.I am a Leghorn man and have Browm (like yours) Black and White Leghorn flocks.

Thanks for the info. Bummer about my roos! I'm still hoping my RIRs are females. Here's some pics of the Welsummers/Brown Leghorns at about a week old. Those breeds look really similar as chicks. How can I be sure what breed it is?
