I'm a newbie to this site so can't post images but I was wondering what the signs of a roo by 16 weeks would be of a Buff Oprington.

I hatched three in october - they all look the same so struggling to tell whether I've got three boys or three girls.

They all have combs no bigger than 1-2mm high, pale-ish colour, and are all roughly the same sized.
When introduced to my fully mature birds there wasn't much fighting and they submitted quickly. They're also not that aggressive.

I know hard to tell without images, but any help would be appreciated and if I'm allowed next time will post images
Thanks
 
they sound like hens, keep an eye out for pointed feathers, and spurs coming in. if their tail feathers are rounded, they are probably hens, if they're all over the place, some long, some, short, than they are probably roos.
 
Thanks for your comments, hard to tell without images I know!
