I am confused , do I have a boy or a girl

[syl]

I bought 2 little chicks ( well 3 actually because my grandson fussed for a little RIR rooster chick ) They are now fathered in but I am wondering if one is a little more boy than I had expected. The lighter colored one has more tail than the other and I have caught the little rooster and this one charging each other with neck feathers flared up. This doesn't seem very lady like behavior . However there is no comb growing . I am just confused as can be .

Chicks will do this to establish pecking order if you could post pictures of them we could let you know. How old are they and where did you get them and are you sure that the RIR is a boy?

Can you take pictures
That would be very helpful
They sound like roosters

Ok let me see if I did this right ( I am a newbie) I bought them from a member here at the end of Feb. I went to get 2 Easter Egg chicks and had a grand son with me who also wanted one from " the other cage" which I was told is a little rooster.

I'm sorry, but you have an EE boy.

You answer in verse
Your hikus are very good
Are you having fun?​

Well That will teach me for calling him Bandit ( because of his eye markings ) Will this be a problem if the RIR is also a boy ?

They'll both "do" that hen
She'll be very sore and sad
You need more chickens

So what is the correct co-edness to keep everyone happy? I have 2 laying RIR about 1.5 years old and these 3. I can hear my husband now.
