Hi! We have three 8-9 week old EEs that are just keeping us confused. We've owned EEs before but never this color and I'm having a hard time deciding if they are definitely pullets or just late-blooming cockerels? I haven't seen an "brick red" or "black" patches yet (but they have a dark gray and darker orange?!) and they all only have one row of pea comb (but they're pinker than our other EEs were at this age, not sure if the 90 degree weather has something to do with that though?). Any help would be appreciated! I took these with my phone but can pull out my nice camera (I am a professional photographer) to get some up close/specific images if that would help anyone!
Number One (this one's beak has no show of red and tail looks most pullet-ish, but the chest patches concern me?):



Number Two (I'm the most confused about this one as it's more "splotchy"):



Number Three (again I'm leaning pullet, but any ideas?):
