RIR - 13 weeks - Time to accept I got roosters!!??

Ok so I thought I'd update photos...now they are around 18 weeks. I guess If one starts laying I'll know for sure I've got a hen, hehe. What do you guys think? I'll put them in the same order as last time, so you can see the changes in the chicken.

Stilll 1#, but trying to show tail feathers



And 2#...still looks the same except it's tail feathers are now growing in greener and fuller
 
Those are both roosters. You can see saddle feathers on both.:(

RIR hens do not ever have the green shiny tail feathers. Only the roosters do.

Here's my RIR. Her back feathers are wide and flat to her body.

They are beautiful though!

Both roosters. The first one is slow maturing, and looks to have a straight comb, but both have boy feathers.
Thanks for posting follow up pics!
 
I think the first one is a pullet and the second is a roo. Her legs are slimmer.
I think i have a RIR that is just over 10 weeks and I WANT to believe she is a girl because she is just so sweet. However, her comb is way bigger than either one of yours and she is younger. But her behaves so differently than the others I have. She does not like to fight and runs away from any type of confrontation, she has not crowed ( i have 4 and two have started crowing).

Enjoying a nice cold apple


Standing on a block on ice to cool her feet!
