Are they male or female?!?!?!

[Cmscherdin]

Thank you for adding me! This is our first season with chickens and
It was bought to my attention today that these 3 might be males. Can anyone help me with what I should look for to decide their sex? They are Rhode island reds. We have a total of 5 and if these 3 are indeed male we have 4 male and one female....

I don’t see anything screaming cockerel yet. But they are still too young For accurate gender ID.

Nothing is screaming boys. How old are they?

5 almost 6 week

Some closer pictures could help, especially side views of combs/wattles. I would give it another week before doing that. Six to eight weeks is the best time to start sexing.

also pictures of their stance, cockerels tend to stand up taller then hens
