Hi all, I have three chicks that I need help sexing as our local ordinances do not allow roos. I just got these chicks from my son's school and do not have any backyard chicken experience. They are about 4 weeks old. Appreciate if those who know can tell me. I don't know their breed so I will call them grey, white and black. Thank you all :)

1. Grey one

Thanks. When you say watch their combs, can you let me know what signs they're roos combs or hens combs? I have seen pictures online and they can be both dark red. So I am really at a loss.
 
Thank you @Chickenlover2017. It started as a fun project because the school had baby chicks for adoption, but it's amazing how fast we got attached to these chicks as a family.
