breed and pullet or cockerel free meal maker

[skeezix05]

I was given these free from a hatchery to donate their eggs but I amn wondering if the one will be a rooster? Also I can guess RIR but I don't have a clue. Black bars/spots on wings? They are five weeks old. To soon to tell?
Thanks a bunch! I can't stop thinking about it

Do you have a photo? You might be able to tell at 5 weeks!

Oops,I forgot pics! I'm having trouble. They are reddish brown with a little bit of black bars on wings. I'm working on pics now.

Hopefully this works

I'm new to chickens but have gotten pretty good at telling between pullets and cockerels. The first pic to me looks like a female from what I can tell, can't really see the comb though. Second, again can't really see the comb but from what I can see tells me boy. Third pic is boy. The chick on the right in the last pic looks female to me because even though it's comb is a little big, it's pale in color. The one of the left looks male because of it's large red comb and thicker legs. You'll know soon when they start to crow!

That's what I thought too. I should have stated that these pictures are of two birdsoso the boys you referred to are one bird that I too think is a boy and the one pullet I think is a girl. I heard that the one kind of rooster you don't want is a rhode island red. I'm wondering if that is what I have .

One appears to be male and the other female. They look like Rhode Island Reds, and they generally have black on their tails and wings

Well..any thoughts of a RIR rooster?
