Please tell me the first 2 photos are hens.. I've had 3 our of 5 chicks turn out to be cockerals.

I'm also 99% sure the third photo is a cockeral, but if someone can confirm that would be great

How old? 3rd one does look like a cockerel with those red large wattles and messy hairdo, 2nd one I'm pretty positive is a pullet because she has a very well-shaped crown of feathers and no wattles to speak of, and the 1st one I'm slightly on the fence about but his hairdo looks more on the male side and I see some wattle development/pinkening.

I feel like with the first one if I could see a front view and/or closeup of the head I could be more certain

The 1st is about 9-10weeks and the 2nd and 3rd are about 8 weeks. Heres a few more pictures lf the 1st one and my cockeral that is also 9-10 weeks for comparison. They look so different which is why I'm thinking its a hen

Yeah from that additional picture I'm now thinking it's a hen as well, especially since it's 2 weeks older than the other two in the first post.
