In the above photo, the one on the right is the one I think is a cockerel. The two on the left are the same age, but their wing feathers are totally different. They are also getting little tiny tail feathers already.

In the above photo, this is one that I think is a pullet. See how many wing feathers she has?

This is my main suspect. Will this one grow up to cock-a-doodle-doo?

Thanks for all your help.
 
It's hard to tell from the picture, how sooty is the possible male's feet? Females tend to have a fair amount of black across their toes, and boys much less so. They both look kind of sooty to me from these pics. The second one is a bit more gray rather than nearly black and does have a larger white spot in the head--both boy traits--but that could be partially lighting. In a couple of weeks you should start seeing combs pop up and the boy combs will turn pink really quick, while the girls will be nearly non-existent and stay really...not pink. I can usually tell at four or five weeks for sure.
