Are my 6 week old buff Orpington “pullets” actually pullets?

I got 3 buff Orpington pullets at rural king 6 weeks ago, but I’m wondering if some or all of them are actually cockerels. What do you think? The first 3 pictures are my first pullet, Comet. The next 3 pictures are my second pullet, Angel. The last 3 pictures are my third pullet, Lovey. I’m confident that the last one is a cockerel, am I right? What about the rest?

I agree with the other posts. The last one if definitely a cockerel, and the other two are probably pullets.
 
If these are Buff Orpingtons at 6 weeks of age, I'm leaning cockerel for all three honestly. Hope I'm wrong! This is based on looking at my batch of Buff Orp pullet pictures from 6 weeks of age last year. Granted these babies are probably not from the same hatchery, and I see more yellow in the beaks and legs than mine had for sure. Really hoping I'm just a moron lol... Here's some of the pics I referenced:

My guess completely based on comb and wattle development and color intensity.
