Buff Orps 9wks old... 3 boys & 1 girl?? (pix)

Here are my 4 BO's, one is OBVIOUSLY a pullet & looks much different than the others. The other 3 have varying degrees of comb/wattle development, one especially just SCREAMS "roo" to me since week one... I was holding out hope that 1 or 2 of the others *might* be another pullet, but hope is fading fast... Opinions, please, altho I think I already know the answer (1 pullet, 3 cockerels?).
The "for sure" pullet:

2 "group shots" of the other 3:

(That picture cracks me up!!! "HAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LOL)

And here's a shot of all 4 of them, the "girl" is on the far right, oh and the one looks funny 'cuz he has his eye closed while he grabs for the dandelion greens!):

You are correct in your assumption I believe.

Yup looks like a trio of roos to me too

Nevermind, 9 weeks, right? I'm honestly not so sure the other 3 are all roo's. I don't have BO's, but I've seen plenty of pullets that age with some comb.

I had soo much trouble trying to decide on my BO ladies. I would just wait and see. They all look to similar to really tell. I was sure I had 2 or 2 roo's turned out 12 out of 12 were all ladies. And the one I was sure was a roo is my first hen to lay the first egg just this week.

Yep! You have 3 cockerels and one pullet.
