help sex my chicks

[newchickky]

Hi Here is a picture of my 5.5 week chickens. Please help me figure out which are roos. I am a brand new chicken owner and have been doing some reading and have some guesses, but I want you experts to weigh in if you don't mind. I tried to post pictures in organized fashion to help. Let me know if they are big enough. Thanks for your help

EE-pullet
BR- pullet
RIR A- roo
RIR B- not real sure on this one either, but looks like a pullet.
RIR C- roo
RIR D- pullet

Kinda wonder about RIR B now it looks more like a roo from the new pic. Do you have a full body shot

 

[newchickky]

I thought I would post bigger pics of their faces, just for further confirmation. Thanks again for your help.

EE

BR

RIR A

RIR B

RIR C (new, better pic)

RIR D

Do you have full body pics that also show how their tails are developing?

 

[newchickky]

I will have to get those. I have some random pics, but i am not really sure who is who from those. But what the heck, here are a couple.

I think this is RIR A

EE

I think this is RIR C

heres my guess
ee - pullet
BR - pullet
RIR A - roo
RIR B - Pullet
RIR C - roo
RIR D - pullet

but as i said just a guess

Thanks for the input. So far, that was what I was thinking. I am gonna watch for a couple more weeks, then decide what to do. Anyone have any suggestions. I have 6 chickens. I am thinking I need to get rid of one of the roos if he/she is actually that. Leaving one for the group. I am not sure what my neighbors are going to think, but I figure I would see how it goes. I gotta start reading up on RIR roos behavior. My friends have RIR and said theirs are kinda squirrley. They are in the garage for winter as well.

I agree. RIR A & C are definitely males. I'm no expert on EEs, but that looks like a female to me.

I think all the reds are boys except for Red B. Red B, the EE and the BR (although her coloring doesn't suggest BR) are female.

I think all RIRs are roos except "D"
