Our first chick hatched. RIR mother, but not sure which rooster is the father. Help?

Thanks everyone! Sorry, I haven't been on in a while and missed your comments. My apologies.

This chick is feathering out quickly. That is a trait of the mother (RIR) though, yes? The comb is single and is actually pretty good sized already, just like my Welsummer had been as a chick (I guessed he was a roo really early on and was right). The legs are also quite large and the demeanor we're guessing our chick is another rooster. I'll have to get around to posting a new pic. He's gotten so big! We should have some new chicks soon. I have no idea which chickens are the mothers or fathers, so I'll probably be posting them as well if they survive. Thanks again!

Um, can you say cockerel? Pretty sure that's what this guy is. Here he is 4 1/2 weeks old and already all feathered out.

Here are some of his feathers.

Just please ignore the mess in the background... I have four small children.

Yes, boy
