So far they look like pullets. Update us at 12 weeks with new pics.
They are very young, but I will guess cockerel. RIR/Production Red cockerels generally show more comb even when this young.

@black_cat @Overo Mare @sourland I had another question my chicks are 7 weeks old but they are still small they haven't had their growth spurt yet, do think it could be because I couldn't leave their food out the whole day ( i couldn't leave it out because I had a laying hen who only wanted to eat their food and not her pellets so I had to take the food away )
Reduced feed can cause slower development. In a mixed flock, a creep feeder is one way of assuring that chicks can get the feed they need.
You should never with hold food from growing chicks or laying hens. NEVER.
If your having issues with chicks eating food that is not theirs then house them separete.
