Can someone help with sexing these please

Chick 3

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that #3 is male. These birds are not the best strain of BR for autosexing.

Other input????

Based on what I have learned and my own BR pullet my guess is, pullet, roo, roo. But I'm def not an expert!

I'm thinking all three might be male, but it's a bit early to be sure. The combs seem pretty prominent, and there's a touch of pink coming in on the comb of #2.

I’m thinking 1 is a girl, 3 is a roo and was undecided on 2....

Assuming they are purebred Barred Rocks, I'm seeing three pullets.

We bought them and were told they were pullets so it looks like we will have to wait and see. They are 7 weeks now so how much longer until it’s obvious? Not sure we can get away with keeping Roo’s here because of neighbours and the kids are getting attached to them already

Usually, cockerels are pretty bright red in the comb by 8 weeks. With yours having such small and pale combs, it's a pretty safe bet they are girls.
