First time poster, long time lurker. These are not the best pictures, so forgive me, but my reds have just turned 3 months old. My mother and step father think 6/8 of our flock are roosters and are preparing to slaughter them soon without even knowing for sure. I have identified 3 (unpictured) as absolutley roosters, but these 3 have me a little confused

Welcome! It can be harder when you actually don't have birds of both sexes to compare.
But, big red combs and wattles, pointy hackle feathers, and those sweeping hackle feathers all point to cockerel every time. Sorry!
Having a nice life and then feeding a family is not a bad end...
