To me the first two look like boys and the third looks pullet. How old are they? Sorry to disappoint your four-year-old :(
In these pictures they are 11 1/2 weeks. They are now almost 17 weeks. #1 Roo roo is a rooster and can crow but wont when he can see you looking at him! #2 i am 95% sure is rooster but doesnt crow yet. Though Roo Roo is definitely dominant. #3 I pray is a hen. All signs I still think hen but my husband thinks rooster...he better not be right!

:weeI think number 3 is a pullet! Meet Luna soft fluffy tail, no sign of comb or wattles.

"FRIDO" (was supposed to be Frida), on the other hand, has comb and wattles, bigger more feathered feet 😳 streamier tail plumage and is a feisty fellow... very vocal, open beak when I hold him...tries to maneuver away from me. 10-12 weeks.
