Was told easter eggers for the first 2 chicks

I'm pretty sure one is a roo. But not 100% any of you think you could tell me. I also have cuckoo marans I'm pretty sure all 3 are roos.

The Marans are all cockerels. The barred one with the little crest is a cockerel too, but the red one is a pullet. Both of those are Legbar type Easter eggers.

Also what does the crest mean. I'm a whole 4 weeks into this chicken ordeal

Agreed.

The crest doesn't mean anything about the gender. It's just a breed trait.

The crest is the little tuft of feathers sticking out of the back of the head.
