Unsure of the sex of 2 of my RIR

[k9jms]

I have 2, almost 4wk old RIR that I am starting to wonder the sex of. Any thoughts are appreciated. I know that they are still young, but their combs are starting to look pinker than my other ones.

Chick # 2.... Only was able to get one good picture of him, he was HATING the camera

Once again thank you for any guesses.

Are those road island reds is that what RIR means? Your chicks look just like my red sex links that I have been told are also called golden comets.
Sorry I can't answer your question I'm new to chickens also.

Hey,
I was told when I purchases them that they are rhode island reds, but I am now starting to doubt that. However, I love them either way

Think they are both roos. I see their "wattles" growing.

They look like Production Red cockerels to me.

Not RIR.

Too soon on the worries about the sex quite yet.

They look like hens to me my pullets have very little combs like that, most of the time I think the comb will be more red then what theirs are. May not be Rhode Island Reds even though they do favor mine, but yours have alot more white then mine do. Hope this helps!

I'm thinking pullet for your RIR's. Here's a couple pics of my RIR hen.
