To young to say for sure on gender. The dark red one could be a Production Red or hatchery quality Rhode Island Red or some sort of RIR mix. Some appear to have muffed cheeks, do they?
 
The three brown ones do have fluffy cheeks, but I don't see it in the chick with the white head and neck (Dove). Dove is also noticeably larger and less sociable than the other three, and the little comb is coming in reddish orange instead of corn yellow like the others...so something *is* different with him/her. They all have yellow legs.

I'd actually be happy if they're mixed RIR because we get some serious heat around here and I heard from a few local chicken farmers that they hold up better with our temps than other breeds.
