Please help me sex my 7 week barred Plymouth Rock

[ecjones73]

Hey all! I'm new to owning chickens and after a ton of research I've picked the breed of barred Plymouth Rock. I ordered specially pullets but I'm worried that I may have gotten 2 Roos. They all have the "dirty" feet, but 2 of the three have really red combs and are getting more red around their beaks. I guess it could be they are just growing faster than the one, but I wasn't sure. It's pretty hot where I'm at so I actually had my chickies in their cool at 2.5 weeks so they've had access to the outside and the sun for almost 5 weeks now. I can't have Roos where I am so I'm hoping for all ladies. What do you guys thinK?

If they are under 10 weeks, then it appears that you were extremely unlucky, as all 3 are cockerels.

In those pictures they are about 5.5 weeks. They hatched June 13th. I'll post some more pictures.
