Rhode Island Red Sexing

[ArraAchicksMama]

I have x5 Rhode Island Reds age 5 weeks and 2 days. I'd like to know how to determine the sex. Long time, experienced RIRs parents, HELP !
Thank you

At that age, you have to go by comb size and color, and also wattle development. About 12 weeks male specific feathering will start coming in on the boys, but it usually doesn't take that long to tell with this breed.

5 weeks, wattle? None of them got wattles yet. I know 12 weeks but I was hoping someone could sex a 5 week old.

Is this the same bird?

That looks like a cockerel to me.
