Can u help- 9 week old BCM/ OE/ Lav. Orpington Gender ???

[Minky]

I hatched out 32 purchased eggs. They were supposedly: Black Copper Maran, Olive Egger, and Lavender Orpington. (3 different local back yard breeders)

I separated male and female (from guessing and using the needle on a thread technique) into different pens at 5 weeks.

I think most were accurate. However I have two or three "pullets" that I think may actually be roosters. But Im not sure. Photos below.

THEY ARE 9 WEEKS NOW. photos taken today.

I am hoping they are pullets, but their combs are much redder than all the others that hatched out with them, that are in the female pen... thoughts??

They all look like boys. How old are they?

they are 9 weeks. I have edited post to reflect this.

Okay, then they are definitely all boys.
