Please help tell me what to do!

This is them sleeping in their brooder, do they look ok? I fear I'm cooking them, or freezing them , or they are too sleepy. One even lies on its side sprawled out like a person, and I have to poke it to make sure he's still alive and then he jumps up all fine, but sometimes he looks like he's giving up. They are all like this all the time, two are even sleeping in there little food dish, which at the minute is the shape of a heart and they fill it perfect

Sorry, had an emergency...

Ok, the feather sexing only works in certain breeds/crosses so that won't work for you... compare the combs from the ones you know are female to the ones that are male and there might be slight differences, then compare to the one I'm not sure on...

Sorry, but that Wellie looks like a boy, but I could be wrong... :/

As to the brooder, one looks like it was panting maybe? Move the heat towards one corner so they can go in and out of the heat as they need... they will move to where they are most comfortable... if they sprawl out all over, they are too warm... if they mass up in a huddle then they are too cold... let them guide you on their heat and you will be fine...

And yep, sounds like too many hems to roo ratio on the RIR's... how many of each do you have?

Yes I thought it looked like it was panting at that moment I took the photo but as I looked again it didn't do it again. The heat is in a corner so they have the other side, some lie under it some lie away from it. I will keep an eye on them though in case he was panting.
I knew he would end up being a boy lol

The eggs of the of the RIR aren't from my hens as I don't have a red cockerel so wanted pure bred offspring. She has 30 hens and 5 cockerels.
