So I've got 3 chicks that are 5 weeks old . I was wondering what gender they are, as we can't keep roosters here

They were all supposed to be pullets, but what do you think? They all have smal-medium yellowish combs with a TINY TINY bit of pink at the base

Sorry for bad picture quality

Holiday, the Buff Orpington

Holiday is a cute buff orpington, she's friendly and doesn't mind being held

She doesn't show much roosterness

Pepper, the Barred Rock (or cuckoo Maran)

Pepper is shy and quiet

The lady at the feed store told us that she could be either a BR or a CM
What worries me about her is that she has small, grey waddles.
But, she does have the darker coloring and she has a dark wash on her feet

Ruby, the Black Australorp

Ruby hates being held and she has a funny squawk whenever we try to pick her up

She has a long tail, is this normal?

All look like pullets to me. I have had BO's and BR's and they are dead ringers for pullets. BA looks like a pullet to me too.
 
Yay! This is what I'm wanting to hear! *is so relieved*

Isn't it just a little odd though for a 5 week old chick to have waddles?

Any more input?
So far,
Pullets: 3
Cockerels: 0
