I ordered 3 Ancona roosters from mcmurray hatchery and I think I got 1 rooster and 2 hens?? I think the first picture is a rooster and the last two are hens due to the larger waddle and comb and also deeper red color. They are also 10 weeks old.

I would say all males, the 1st pic is probably developing quicker if he’s top of the pecking order. The more dominant normally develop quicker, i’m not sure why? I had 2 silkie chicks, both cockerels and i found once i took the more dominant one out, my smaller 1 developed much quicker.
