They are between 10 and 11 weeks old. Born approx april 3rd. I had a bad feeling I had two roosters.

Oh wow...how old are they?
If I'm looking at it right, this is what gave my Silkie roo away...
Look at the comb development on the two on the outsides vs the one in the middle?

I do

MY girls were nowhere near as developed at that time..one of mine is still pink, rather than red, lol, and they're 22 weeks!
You could wait for crowing..but so far it's looking like your pullet is outnumbered 2:1

Here's my Buff Orpington "Sunshine"
She's the craziest chicken I've ever had she attacks the dogs and small birds we don't even need a rooster with her around. Sadly the rooster left her crippled but she can still hobble along on both legs. :

That is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like something from a fairytale with those trailing roses.
