I have 3 Rhode Island Red chicks and I'm wondering if it's possible to sex them at this age? Two of them are quite a bit larger than the third and have more feather growth, and also are more outgoing. I've attached pics. :)

Pic 1 one of the larger ones is on the left and the smallest is on the right
Pic 2 -4 are the two bigger ones
Pic 5 & 6 are the littlest one
Pics 7 & 8 are a mix - put a arrow next to the smallest one
Pic 8 (oops, did 8 twice) without an arrow are the two biggest ones
Pic 9 is the smallest one alone

Too early to be certain. RIR do comb early, so you should know in a few weeks. Normal for there to be some variation in size as the chicks grow. Not always an indication of gender though. Cute chicks!😊
