i had bought some leghorn pullets last spring. they seem to have little round scales at the feet where roos would get their spurs. this doesnt mean they are roos does it. sorry i cant take pics.
 
I would think the differences between your girls and boys would be quite obvious. Hens do get the little nubs where a rooster would grow spurs, is that what you mean by little round scales? Anyway, look at the feathers on their neck and just before their tails. On a hen, they will be short and rounded. On a rooster they'll be long and stringy. Hope this helps, good luck!
