Hens or Roosters?

Guys. I think I have 2 females and 1 male in my newest generation. Not including these 3, I have 2 roosters and 4 hens. The grey and black chicks were from one of my Ameraucana hens and my barred-rock rooster. The white chick is from my Lavender Orpington hen and my KFC rooster (not sure what breed really, just reminds me of a KFC rooster). What's your thoughts on the sex of these chicks?

Your rooster is a Dominique, not a Plymouth Rock. The only pullet is the dark gray one in the sixth pic.
Interesting. Someone else just told me he was a Dominique. He came from the first set of eggs that were given to us by these ladies who had chickens from all over the world and really didn't know what they had, so we were just guessing.
 
He's not a Dominique, either. He has feathering on his feet, dark barring meaning he's not pure for the barring gene, and a pea comb gene judging by the size of his wattles and the shape of that comb, none of which a Dominique should have. Perhaps a Brahma x Dominique mix?

Anyway, if there are only three chicks, I believe all three are males.

Same. 2 definitely are and the 3rd, I would be leaning heavily towards male as well

I didn’t see the feathering. Thanks for pointing that out, I’m still learning.

Just realized there are two posts and this wasn’t the one I commented on, but regardless… thanks for the info!
 
I'd say white one is guaranteed male, the other two - personally, I think I'd need better pictures. I say that as someone who got a lot of nay-sayers in my chick-sexing thread last year and many identified two of my now 100% hens as two baby roos. It's hard to say for sure due to breed characteristics.
