Here is this mornings pic of the upcoming hens and roos.
I think a, b, c are roos?
two (a and c) have started enlarging combs for 10 days now
b is the behaviorally dominant runt whose comb just started growing

Oh, I forgot they are Marans and they are 3 weeks old

 

[Shadowfire]

I think they are baby roos (a and c)

 

[Mrs. K]

I agree with op - 3 roos

It's likely they're cockerels, but I'd wait another few weeks just to be sure. There's also a slight possibility of fast-maturing pullets.

Yep.....another couple-few weeks and it'll be glaringly obvious.

FYI.....semantics, maybe, but can be important communication terms when discussing chicken behavior.
Female chickens are called pullets until one year of age, then they are called hens.
Male chickens are called cockerels until one year of age, then they are called cocks(or cockbirds or roosters).
Age in weeks or months is always a good thing to note.

Your suspicions could be right, but wait longer for confirmation.

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

They are too young to sex.
Post pics of their combs in 3-4 weeks.

All look to be cockerels at this age.

too young to confirm
