The second chick looks like a BLRW. I am suspicious about the first one though and it's not just the comb. I've never had a BLRW chick that had head markings like that. Of course, different lines could be different... but i'm not convinced the first one is a wyandotte. Mine look like the bottom one with the black ones being darker and the splash ones being lighter. 

I agree about then first one. It looks a little like my welsummer chicks I just raised. I had 3 welsummers and 4 BLRW. He looks more like my welsumers, but only time will tell what he/she is.

Here are more pictures of the chicks:

Those look just like my Speckled Sussex chicks I hatch.

I have 15 almost 3 week old BLRW's. I am trying to start figuring out how many of each I have. I took these pics to see if I'm on the right track by sexing them by their combs. I know I wont by 100% until they crow or lay an egg but it would be great to get a ballpark guesstimate! Also, would a single comb be showing up by now, because so far it's looking like they should all be rose combs, fingers crossed! Do these 2 look like they could be blues?
Rooster?

Pullet?

yes a single comb would be visible very early, I only see rose combs here! I agree with your assessment, cockerel in the 1st photo, pullet in the 2nd. based on the size/development of the comb, how far it stands up off the head on the first guy.

I'm not sure if they're blue, they look light to me. either splash or very light blue?

Yep I agree, first is a cockerel and the second pullet. A single comb would be visible at this point, I only see rose. Both look like they may be splash or a light blue.

Thanks for the feedback!It's still hard to tell on some, so I will do a tally next week.

Hi all! I am faced with a very tough choice, i need to rehome of of my boys, there are getting to be too many for my small flock, BUT.. i dont know which one. I am attached to both of them. they are both good boys, the kids are split on it too...so I am hoping you could give me a little insight as to which YOU would keep...I am not a breeder, but it might help sway my opinion one way or the other ...so here goes... the colors are kind of washed out.. so I added one that is more correct even though it was from winter, i didn't want to retouch these....
