All three of these GLW are 9 weeks old. I'm confused ! I thought all 3 were Pullets but starting to think 2 may be Roo's, but not really sure. The pictures on Google show females with waddles as well as the Roo's. I really only want 1 Rooster so I'm trying to figure out if I need to trade these 2 out.

 
I think the middle one is a girl and the other two look more roo-ish.
I've had wyandottes get red early, but for 9 weeks those are big wattles.
Did you get them from a hatchery or from someone who told you they were pullets?
Keep an eye out for the pointy feathers starting around the tail.
 
Definitely two cockerels and one pullet, the pullet is in the center in the bottom photo. You can tell not just by the huge red comb and wattles, but also the coloring--the black "ring" around the neck is where the cockerels' hackle feathers will grow, whereas the pullet has the same pattern running all the way across her body, the lacing is not missing at her neck.
 
X 2. 100% those are boys! I like the one on the left.

Thank you for helping me out. I thought they were Roo's but I'm so new at this I wanted to make sure before I got rid of them. They are really sweet though. I've held them every day so they would be nice !!! Thanks again.
