OK, I bought these 3 at Agway. 8 week old Araucanas (what the sign said). The black-headed one with the red comb is worrisome. Different breed hopefully? Thanks in advance...

Agree, the bird in question is a cockerel.

Definitely 1 cockerel, and 2 pullets. And to save you from second guessing future chicks, when trying to identify gender, if a chick under 8 weeks old develops a very bright pink comb, it's a cockerel. Pullets do not start to pink up until they are close to laying eggs, regardless of breed.
