I think I guessed wrong. Help me out?

I bought a $120 incubator for $12 at an outlet store and wanted to test it out. Soooo naturally I had to try it out and hatched a few eggs. This was my first time though so I am learning. Based on what I researched, I tried guessing their sex based on wing and color. Now that they are about 12 weeks old I am second guessing myself! Pretty sure I was wrong on all 3 .
They are EE babies from EE parents. The dark one I thought was a cockerel but now I am thinking pullet. The other lighter two I thought were pullets but now I think are cockerels! The combs and the behaviors are what's making me wonder. What do you think?

I was mostly just messing with you.
From first pic I'm voting male, female, male.
What incubator did you get?

It's all good! But yeah, that's what I was afraid of. My next challenge as a chicken keeper is how to deal with roosters! I got the "Abtor" box looking incubator originally listed Amazon. Not what I would have asked for Christmas lol, but how could I pass it up?

I wouldn't of passed it up either but ya I always ask for incubators for Christmas so....
Good luck with your roostering. I'm sure you'll see different ideas on how to proceed. I'm in the don't baby them or try to make it your buddy camp.

I've recently learned the hard way, a skittish male is better than an aggressive one.

You don't want them fleeing for their lives at the sight of you, but you don't want to get too comfortable with them all up in your space either.

I literally call them buddies lol but I think this is good advice. Already my OG roo has kicked my legs from behind (ouch!) while I was minding my own business - just relaxing and talking on the phone. I cleaned his pasty butt and let him sit on my lap in the early days - I feel pretty betrayed. I don't want 3 more like that running around. Never a dull day with chickens, I'm finding. I'll figure it out somehow. Thank you!
