Hi friends! New here - first post, just joined!

We have 2 5 week old Rhode Island Red and 2 5 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks and it has been a wonderful journey for our family thus far. My SLW we have no doubt are females, but the RIR, they are giving us fears we have Roos! Wife, kids and myself have really grown attached to them, but we CAN NOT have roosters and would need to find them great new homes.... :(

Would someone with experience and knowledge please review some photos and let me know where you think we stand here. Do I have two roos, one roos or hens?

Rocki- Red leg band, second 4 pictures shown, 5 weeks yesterday, larger comb, pinker?
Lilly- Green leg band, first 3 pictures shown, 5 weeks yesterday, smaller comb, not as pink, but some color?

Many thanks!
JB

Thanks folks. Looks like we’re getting 4 more chickens and finding Rocki a new home and will roll with our 7. Any ideas of places or ways to find this fella a great spot. He’s a really social cool dude so far with us.
