Rhode Island Rooster or Hen?

[Hyper954]

Hi everyone! I am new here. These are chickens that my son brought home as babies from his school. I am not sure if they are Rhode Island Reds and if they are both roosters or hens? Any information would be great! Thanks!

How old are they? I'm still a little new to this but pretty sure those are cockerels.

I think they are about 10 weeks old

They both look like Rhode Island Red Hens to me! In my experience, RI Red Roosters tend to be much darker and larger than the hens. In your picture, they seem to be more of a light brown color rather than a dark brown/black.

If they're truly 10 weeks then definitely cockerels.
