Hey guys! I could use your help! I got these chicks from a small local hatchery as straight run. They are just about 5.5 weeks old. First chick is an Olive Egger the picture makes it look more red than it actually is but my guess would be roo. The gray chick is an Ameraucana again the photos make the comb more red, this one did not really want a close up photo shoot. The 3rd one is a French Cooper Marans like one I would guess a pullet it doesn’t show any redness. I know I should be waiting but I don’t believe I will be able to keep the roosters so I am being inpatient haha

I agree. Both pullets. General rule of thumb for most breeds of chickens: if the saddle feathers are rounded then it's a pullet. If saddle feathers are thin and pointy then it's a cockerel.
 
They are much you young for sex specific saddle feathers. At 5.5 weeks I'd say they are all cockerels.
