I was told they are Rhode Island Reds/White Leg horns mix, two are 21 wks one is 19 wks, my what looks like a hen has a nice rounded bum no saddle feathers and no fancy feathers coming off tail.

The one in the middle is 19 weeks old

Why do you think they are roos? At 21 weeks, wouldn't their combs and waddles be much bigger and redder? And they do seem to have saddle feathers, but they look quite round...?

The hackle feathers and the sickle tail feathers.

I might be wrong, I can really nail them in person even as chicks, lol

ETA: I didn't see the age, I am wrong.......
