I'm 99% sure on Eleanor/Elmer.
Less sure on Trixie, and another, who was being camera shy.
What do you think?

An update: Elmer has left the coop. His demeanor had become markedly aggressive, and there was no doubt of his gender. Roosters are not allowed in my township, and I simply don't want one.

The overall temperment of the coop has improved. One female instantly became dominant when the male left. And it was neither of the other two I suspected "might" also be male.

I'll get new photos of the two chicks in question, soon. I'm less concerned about their genders than I was, when I first made this post. Their combs have not really grown, and their temperaments, as I stated above, are milder than the newly-dominant pullet. I do hope I'm right.
 
I was asked to update the photos. Here are the remaining 2 pullets in question. They will be 10 weeks old, tomorrow. I don't see much change in the last 2 weeks

The first one is definitely a cockerel. The second and third are looking like boys as well. Give us updated pics of those two in 2 more weeks.
