Purchased 5 Delaware chicks from farm store at 3 weeks old. Chickens are now 9 weeks old and I'm trying to determine what gender they are if at all possible at this point or if its still going to take some weeks to determine.

These are the same two birds from the middle of the previous picture. The one on the left was the one hiding its head in the other photo.

I've had my suspicions since around week 5 since the combs and wattles grew much faster and more red then the others.
 
Probably need a couple more photos, but it's likely 2 males Delewares based on their tails. The white birds are all pullets.
 
For whatever reason, it's been difficult to find Delawares where the hens have good color.
Just based on the amount of color, I'd jump to 2 cockerels 3 pullets even without the combs to look at.
