Are these roos? What's Dahlia's breed?

[lexi_lulu]

Hello! I am a first time chicken owner. My 12 week old chicks were ordered from Meyer Hatchery. I requested all females. I ordered 6 RIR and 6 Golden Buffs plus one mystery chicken.

Can I please get some help with these three RIR: hens or roos? Their combs and waddles are redder and larger than my other three RIRs. They also get real salty when I pick them up. They also tell me about myself for awhile once I put them down but no crowing yet but I know it's still early for that. They may be too young to sex but thought I'd give it a shot.

Organizing the pictures: Please look in the top right hand corner of the picture to see which bird it is - I numbered each picture of the RIR with 1, 2, or 3. All of the pictures with a 1 in the corner are of the same bird. Same idea with pictures with 2 and 3 on them.

Also hoping to confirm Dahlia's breed. I think she's a black sex link but would love confirmation.

Thanks so much in advance

They all look like girls to me. Here is my assumed RIR roo also from Meyer. I knew he was a roo by 5ish weeks due to his already pink comb. His chick down was also pretty roo specific if I remember right, red head and back while his wings were pale yellow. He is ~14 weeks in this photo but has not yet crowed.

All birds the OP posted are pullets and the mystery one is indeed a Black Sex Link
