Agreed- the top two pictures are cockerels, and the bottom is a pullet.

I think you can keep however many roos together as long as they are seperate from the hens. If you plan on keeping them with the hens you need 8 hens for every one roo.

my new rule: If one's a roo, replace it with two!

Agreed. First two are boys, if you're allowed it is perfectly fine to keep more than one male in the same area. As long as they're raised together they will be fine. They might have a few quarrels when young but nothing dangerous.
