New here and wondering if any of my 8 chicks 4 1/2 weeks can be sexed

[myboyjack]

Hi! I'm new to all of this. I took my babies out of their brooder for their class of 2015 photos today. And yes, my brooder is inside my house in my sunroom.

I am supposed to have 2 Plymouth Rocks, 3 Rhode Island Reds straight run and then 3 Black Copper Marans pullets.

Here's hoping!

Thank you, guys, for any info in advanced. You look like a fun crowd and I'm excited to become a part of it.

I have to post again to get the rest. I'm really NOT tech savvy! Sorry!

Also, see the comb on my top baby here? I'm a little concerned about coccidiosis, though no other symptoms seem present. I'm not sure anyone's thoughts?

I'm not sure that those are RIR in the second and third pic's, they look far too pale. If it wasn't for the huge,cockerel looking comb I'd say that they were red sex links

Rhode Island reds tend to have that pale look when feathers are coming

These two appear to be Production Red cockerels.

I'm leaning towards this chick being a cockerel.
This bird is definitely a cockerel.

I agree with Bantamlover21.

Thank you so much for the responses, everybody.

I will say, the possibility of 4 out of 8 being Roos is a tough pill to swallow since we just moved into the country with 3 young children. Normally, I would keep every one, regardless, but I'm nervous to put my kids in harms way. :/

Oh, well. Stuff to think about. Thanks, again!
