New pics of my RIR's as still not sure of gender. 14 weeks old now and nothing is obvious to me.
 
I think I see 3 roosters.

If it's any consolation, I've never owned this breed.
 
I am a newbie but I have to RIRs. Mine are only about 9 weeks old but it was clear about a month ago that one lady was a guy. Lucy actually looks a lot like yours-she has a smaller comb and her feathering is more red w/ no dark feathers. Ethel (renamed by my husband, as Ken-lol) has a taller comb, wattles well developed, some dark feathers on his wings, longer feathers on the wing tips, and dark feathers in his longer tail. They have a bit of a beetle blue sheen to them and he definatly carries that strutting posture. I am new at this, but yours look more like my pullet, then the cockerel.
 
I'm not seeing anything that is screaming roo. If I had to guess, I'd say pullets. I don't have any RIR's so I don't know how fast they mature, but to me, they look like pullets.
 
Thanks, fingers crossed, would love to see pics of your boy and girl.
