Typical is it too early to tell what these are?

Hi all! My newest babies are all seven weeks old. My opinion is switching every day if they're hens or roos. I know it's early, but asking anyways! Just asking about the RIRs, I'm almost positive the Barnevelder is a hen! The orange netting is making their combs look redder than they really are

How old are the RIRs?

7-8 weeks

Hmm. Would you be able to get some better pics of their combs?

Are these three different birds?
1st pic I'm undecided. Leaning possible cockerel.
2nd pic leaning 1 cockerel 1 pullet.

I think ur right about that, first one defenetly looks like a crockel, and the one in the back one the second pic looks like a crockel too!

but defenetly get somone elses opinion! you can never bee 100% until you here em start to crow!

I'm leaning towards all pullets 'cause RIRs tend to be fast maturing, but I'd wait a few weeks just to be sure

No crowing yet! I'm fine with a roo, but our old one (RIP Brent) was kinda mean so I'm always paranoid!

I won't lie, the 1st and 3rd might be the same bird. I lost track of which is which when I was taking the second one

Given the breed, I'd say give it a few weeks. Most other breeds I'd say cockerel but RIRs tend to pink up early
