The blue one with the red shoulders is a cockerel. The other two are pullets.

I think they are all pullets, at 12 weeks a Cockerel combs and wattles should be more pronounced. But I am by no means an expert.

I agree, although I'm not totally sure about the black one based off just that photo.

One has red leakage on the shoulders which is a male trait, and you can also see the start of male saddle feathers on that one if you zoom in:

Can't quite make out comb type for sure from the pictures but he doesn't have a single comb, and the other types are often less obviously male from a young age.

Thanks. The blue one is supposed to be a pure ameracauna. So possibly pea comb?

Could well be. I'm just not all that familiar with some of the other comb types, so wasn't confident enough to say for sure based on those photos.
