On March 10th I got 3 RHR's. They already had wing feathers so I am assuming they were already a week old when I brought them home.

They all have different sized combs and comb colors are different. No one has started crowing yet.

Courious on what you think.

The 1st 4 picks are of the same chicken who I suspect is a cockrel.

I had a cross RIR/Australorp rooster and saw pin feathers by about 14 weeks, which I don't really see on your RIR here. Also he was aggressive with the other chicks right from the beginning. I agree that the larger waddle is another indicator as mine started developing that sooner. I guess you'll know when you hear a crow. :)
