Hello! Lots of questions here on both breeds & sex.
I bought what I thought was three pullets from a breeder. He was the one who confirmed the breeds. I live in the city & can't have roosters, and this is my second batch to replace the rooster I had before (UGH). All are a month old.
So here are my questions with each bird-
The "Jubilee Orpington" 9EA45715-944A-48DB-934E-EFAD15CF10DA.jpeg
- I'm pretty positive this is the only pullet. Is she a frizzle? Her feathers stick out funny. Also, is it even a Jubilee Orpington?

I am almost 100% positive this is a roo, but I wanted to get confirmation before I gave the chick away. Slightly aggressive and has a fast growing, pink comb.

Lastly, the Cochin 5FEEDE34-0D0A-4911-9561-224849A086FB.jpeg 614A3DDA-C1D7-42A3-866A-4D16829D140A.jpeg 39676D62-2E50-42F6-94F9-856BE9D0A7B1.jpeg
Will be so sad to get confirmation if this is a boy, it is seriously one of the sweetest. But I have a gut feeling it's a boy. It has a three pea comb. It has that signature long stance, BUT I had a pullet do that stance as a baby too, so my opinion is all skewed.
Thoughts? Thank you for any advice!
 
First one looks right for a Jubilee Orpington, to young to sex though. Second is a Rhode Island Red cockerel, no doubt. Third is a Light Brahma, good chance its a cockerel.

Orps mature slowly, so 3 weeks is much too young to even guess.

The comb on the RIR is huge for 4 weeks. Definite cockerel.

Light Brahma (pea comb) looks to be a cockerel as well. Maybe post pics in 4 more weeks to confirm.

If you bought these birds as sexed from a breeder and he not only got the sex wrong, but the breed wrong as well.... I would go with a different breeder.
