2. Girl. It has tiny wattles and a tiny comb, no signs of tail flukes either.
3. Girl. Same reason above.

That first one is a large breed cross.. I was given a few eggs to incubate

2 & 3) are bantam cross - mum silkie dad crossbreed, I purchased a few silkies and incubated the first few eggs they laid. The previous owner had them running with a couple of cross breed roosters.

Thanks for all the guesses! I do think 1 & 2 are boys and was hoping 3 is female

number 2 looks like an emu to me.

and who said all their roosters crowed by the 5 weeks. what are you feeding those birds?

Pretty sure they meant 5 months.

Although there have indeed been cases of cockerels crowing that early. Mine began at the earliest of 8 weeks though.

Really, all of my boys have crowed by 5 weeks. Not full fledged cockadoodle doos, but screechy precursor crow sounds that girls don't make. But my brown leghorn WAS cockadoodle dooing by 3 weeks. He was precocious in every way - highly aggressive towards people by 3 months old, at which point my kids would not go out in the yard, and I could not go out without a broom. He wasn't long for this world, I'm afraid.

Also their combs were noticeably larger and redder than the pullets' combs by a few weeks old. I haven't had tons of roosters, but I've always been pretty sure by 3 weeks old if they're boys.

Is this really unusual? My neighbor's roosters do seem to mature more slowly than mine, but I thought hers were slow. Maybe not?

That's what I saw. The saddle feathers looked pretty rounded to me.
