We bought eggs to hatch and were told they were RIR's, but now I am beginning to wonder if they are really sex links. One of them is really a lot lighter colored with a lot of white on it and it is starting to show some pink in its comb and some roo-like behavior. The other 4 are more red and have more yellowish combs. So, do you think the lighter one is a roo and the rest are pullets? Which breed do you think they are? The pictures are from when they were 3 weeks old. They will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. I just noticed the comb color changing today, so it will not show in the pictures. I can take new ones if I need to. Thank you!
This is the one that I was thinking might be a roo.

The others look like RIR's to me. My red sexies have more white in there tail areas. Each one to a different degree. I have one that has a red chest but the rest of her looks like old lace, we call her Lace
