I think you might have two hens and a roo. The roo would be the chick to the far right. Its' kind of difficult to be sure because the chicks are in the shade, so some more pics would be helpful.

You're looking for bigger, redder combs and wattles, and also sometimes the legs of the roos will look thicker, and also, you'll notice the saddle feathers and tail feathers will be more pronounced.

Another thing would be the hackle feathers (neck feathers) would be pointier.

I'm not so sure about Master Chief being a rooster yet.......Need a better pic....I'm not seeing much of a comb, so maybe they're all hens.....
 
Do you have a closer side pic of the one on the right? The combs all look like pullets but the one on the right's tail looks funny. Are they Barred Rocks or mixes? If they are pure then their coloring says they are all pullets.
 
Their dad is a Barred Rock,but the lady had 3 different hens,a copper maran,sex link and something else,my air head forgot...
 
I didnt get to see the hens,it was night time when I picked them up.I have been suspicious of Master Chief,the body shape and stance from the beginning always made me suspect a Rooster,but since I am no chicken expert(my grandma had chickens,so all I know was feeding them as a kid,never tried to figure breeds or sexing)so I figured I would post here.Nugget and Master Chief love to climb the highest in the coop,I was hoping that Nugget wouldn't also be a Roo,I cant have Roosters where I live.We had to get rid of 2 last year.
 
Im no expert of sexing by any means but Nugget has that sweet look going on while Master Chief has that look of confidence. Id say Nugget it a pullet and MC is a roo.
