I'd say to expect crowing in a month, no eggs.

aside from color pattern, in the first picture it kind of looks like shiny, skinny and pointy tipped feathers in the neck.. but the pictures are not too clear. those were my reasons for saying roo. If I'm not wrong, they will grow up to look like this roo:



Note the dark red feathers in the same wing zone as your birds. Yours are still young and have not got all the roo colors yet. This color pattern is very typical of crossing white leghorn with RIR- also a common cross for layers. Hens don't get the dark red on wings, their brown/buff is mostly on neck and breast, usually.
