13-14 week old EEs - gender?

[Kailcar]

So I've been patiently waiting for a crow or an egg, but I have my suspicions and want to see what everyone thinks! I got these three EEs from Tractor Supply about 13-14 weeks ago. I have one that I'm 99% sure is a cockerel (my little cross-beak baby), but the other two are toss-ups. One I'm leaning pullet and the other one looks pullet-y to me but has some cockerel traits.

Bird 1 (Spaz) - this is my cross-beak baby and I'm 99% sure is a cockerel. Although he's only got the single row comb, he's been very red for about 2 months and he was always the biggest/spunkiest/bigger legs.

Bird 2 (Ghost) - This one I'm hard-leaning pullet. Single row comb, fancier coloring, not red at all in the face/comb (the camera made it look pinker than it really is). Mild tempered but a bit flighty.

Bird 3 (Poppy. Papi?) - This one I legitimately have no idea. I would love for a pulley but has some cockerel traits. Has a three-row pea comb (which is more common on cockerels, I hear) but it's not very red at all. Has always been the runt of the three. Daintier legs. Does puff up/squabble with Spaz a lot. My in-laws swore pullet for this one and bird #2 (haha).

And here is a group picture for stance:

So what are we thinking?! I'm looking forward to everyone's thoughts!

Umm tough. They all look a good bit alike. None of them look to have thick legs. #2 has some rust color but not really splotchy. #3 hackles look thin and suspect to me.

Buuut, hmm I am going to say #1 is the only cockerel. I am not real, real confident, I admit.

I’m thinking #1 is a cockerel.
#2 and #3 are pullets.

Warning:
My Americanas and Easter Eggers don’t lay until at least 6 months old.

All are definitely pullets

 

[TheChickenGirl16]

All are definitely pullets

I guess the thing that had me concerned, was that red comb… considering that they are only 14 weeks old….

 

[jbj25]

I am inclined to think you are probably right. There really is nothing that screams cockerel on any of them. #1 comb is redder and if there is a cockerel that is the one. But, it isn't that red and nothing else says male about it.

 

[Kailcar]

Really?? I was really thinking Spaz (#1) was for sure a cockerel, but that would be a neat trick if all three ended up pullets! I got them all straight run and figured I would have at least one roo. Here's a picture of Spaz from a month ago, same redness to the comb for reference.

Nobody looks like a cockerel

 

[Kailcar]

Well I'll be! Obviously I wouldn't be mad but I was kind of hoping for at least one rooster

I've heard they tend to be late layers, so I guess I'll just continue the wait and update soon!

I see all pullets.
