only default images shows when using <source>

I am trying to use the <picture> and <source> elements to provide some responsive images for my site.

My problem is that only the default image shows. I have tried reloading the page using different window sizes and I have also loaded PictureFill.

What am I doing wrong?

<picture>
    <!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]-->
        <source media="(max-width: 479px)" srcset="smallImage.jpg" />
        <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="mediumImage.jpg" />
        <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="largeImage.jpg" />
    <!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]-->
    <img class="rsImg" src="xLargeImg.jpg" alt="MyDefaultImg" />
</picture>

NB: I have been using Chrome while getting this issue

I would try this:

<picture>
    <!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]-->
        <source media="(min-width: 767px)" srcset="xLargeImg.jpg" /> <!-- the default image is also stated as a source -->
        <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="largeImage.jpg" />
        <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="mediumImage.jpg" />
        <source media="(max-width: 479px)" srcset="smallImage.jpg" />
    <!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]-->
    <img class="rsImg" srcset="xLargeImg.jpg" alt="MyDefaultImg" />
</picture>
