Are these cockerels?

I hatched these 3 and suspect they are cockerels. They are a barnyard mix, so they all look different. Am I correct or is it too soon to tell for sure? They are just over 5 weeks old. They like to jump on other chicks and just seem energetic and curious.

Thanks! I’m just curious....How do you know? Don’t chickens also grow combs and wattles? Is it from the size or the color? The mean look in their beady little eyes?

Hens do grow wattles and combs but not until closer to laying, around 20 weeks. Heres an example of my pullet at 7 weeks. No wattles, very small comb, no red.
