I'd say it's a bit hard to tell at this point. The RIR and EE should be more distinguishable in a couple of weeks. The Silkies will take longer, they are tricky!

Agree. But to take a guess I would say the RIR looks light colored so I would say girl, EE (I have had 4 white ones and 3 are roos I think the other was a pullet but she died) maybe roo, silkies I have no guess there.

Way too early on the EE and Silkies. EE you should be able to tell by about 8-10 weeks for sure. The Silkies, about 3 months is what most people are saying on here, until you see streamers or hear crowing

The RIR looks rooish to me, but keep an eye on the comb, if it seems to redden up in the next two weeks, you will know it is a cockerel. It is feathering pretty quick though, so that could mean pullet. Give it time.
