Any of these look like possible roos?

I agree the only one to watch is the black & white EE. I got australorps & Partridge Rocks this spring from Meyer & was sort of hoping for a rooster. The Partridge Rock should be feathering in with a black breast if it's male. Their combs & the Australorp combs were large in some all along. Some Aussies had combs & wattles at 8-10 weeks and were still hens. The rocks all had larger combs also, but they never filled in to the back of the head. All pullets for me.
 
They all look like pullets to me. Pretty sure the partridge rock would be showing some black in the breast at this point if it was a cockerel.

Does anyone have a photo of a younger Partridge Rock cockerel? I'm curious as to how the black would be coming in on the breast, and how the coloration differs from the pullets.
 
This is one that was smaller than everyone else to begin with and just recently got tail feathers...much slower feathering than the other Partridge Rock. How soon do you think I can tell definitively? Appreciate the input! :)
You can sex Partridge Rocks very accurately by the chest feathers. Females have patterning through the chest. Males have solid black chest feathers.
