These four babies are now almost 5 weeks. Nova gen/RIR I think I have an idea on genders but I need people who know better than me to confirm if I'm right

I'm thinking the ones in pictures #5 and #6 are males.
That's what we thought! And #5 is also extremely friendly towards us compared to the others he let's us pet him and will run right up to us. I have never had a single chick do that (without food for motivation) he is a rare one.

Young cockerels can be like that and it can mean he may be aggressive in the future because he's not afraid of you.
 
Oh no... I hope..not. we have a toddler and any sign of aggression we will have to give him away
It’s not a for sure sign, but it could be likely. Definitely be careful with your toddler, you sure don’t want an aggressive male.
To help prevent it try not letting him be so friendly and such. Show him you’re boss. Though not sure you’d want to “peck” him back or anything like that.
