The Feathersite pages for RIR and sex-links. With actual ISA Brown sex-links it should be by color, the pullets are the reddish chicks. They have a lot of pictures that should help with the RIR, young roos won't be as extreme as the older ones. But usually young roos will have more and redder comb/wattle, bigger feet, more upright stance, and eventually get the male saddle, hackle and tail feathers.

ISA Brown's above. The males are mostly white as shown. The females are mostly reddish with some white feathers on the rear.
