It might be too early but can anyone help me determine if these three are pullets or cockerels? They are suppose to be Ameraucana pullets from Mcmurray hatchery we got at our local feed store.

I believe they’re about 6-7 weeks

I agree with HorseGirlAbby, the first chick seems to have an awfully red comb and maybe rusty patches coming in on the wings (a predominantly male color pattern, not 100% indication of male but definitely suspicious). I'd give it probably another 2 weeks or so to be certain one way or the other.

The bottom two have female specific coloration, they're definitely pullets.
 
Looks like a cockerel and two pullets to me. Anytime they have a patchwork/blotchy appearance to the juvenile pattern, that's a strong male sign. Add how the comb looks and I would be completely shocked if #1 wasn't.
