I know the pictures are a bit blurry .. But am i right in assuming that the 2 with the black feathers on the necks are cockerels and the all white one is a hen ? .. They are all about 6-7 weeks old .. born on the same day from the same batch ..

It`s quite difficult to tell from the pics but I would guess that the first one is a poulet, and the other two are cockerels.
The problem I had when sexing mine using the neck feathers, is the markings on the neck made it hard to tell if the feathers were rounded or pointed. After they got to 8 - 9 weeks it was easier. from a batch of 17 I ended up with 9 poulets and 8 cockerels and only one was touch and go which sex it was so took an educated guess. All the cocks have gone now but only because I gave them away.... no one wants them as light sussex are one of the most common breeds, everyone and their dog has some.
 
Try taking the pictures in the darkest corner and then post them. I am thinking speckledhen is right, but it wouldn't hurt to show us clearer pictures. the bright light in the back of them is making it so blurry.
