9 wks...Please say all 3 are pullets!

I know it’s not 100% until they lay or crow, but I’m reaching the cutoff of when their breeder will take back any cockerels. I’ve learned so much lurking on this site, I’m hoping I haven’t worn out my welcome with my questions! So very thankful for your kind advice here, and generous sharing of knowledge.
9 weeks old: White EE, Barred Rock, Black Australorp... Pullets???
Thank you!
P.S., Power bill was almost $400... how cold of a night could these girls handle without heat lamp? Rookie question, I know.

the barred rock is a pullet, i have no experience with the other 2 breeds.

They're fully feathered. With the current temps in San Diego, they should be fine with no heat. My sisters week old chicks are running around out from under momma in 12F weather. I'm not sure how much colder it actually gets where you are, but if it does get cold now would be a good time to get rid of the heat altogether so they have a little time to get used to it.

Barred rock- pullet (I think)
Australorp -pullet (I think)
White EE- pullet (I think)
None have anything that says cockerel to me so I think you have three lovely pullets

Thank you for the advice on letting them get on without a lamp, they spend so much time preening I wasn't sure if they were all grown in yet. ;-)

Thank you!!! It's all too clear that I love them WAY too much... But Chicken TV is a real thing, it's so relaxing to sit out there and watch them roam around eating spiders and things! And my friends just don't get it, that's why I love you all so much.
