Roo or hen and what breed? I was told Sapp I posted two pictures of each starting with the splash. The splash is 2.5 weeks and the two gems 3.5 weeks.

It's way too young to be positive on gender, the blue ones may be cockerels but its really early. Breed wise, where did you get them? : D
They are sapphire gems and came from rural king. They are supposed to be pullets.
 
It looks like a Sapphire blue Gem or bkue plymouth rock. I have both a hen and a rooster. My daughters Agricultural class teacher said our boy was a hen..
But his large red comb told me otherwise. We ended up having 4 roosters. But I wanted to keep him. Reason behind this was upon looking for pics online of this particular breed of chicken there weren't many roosters. So now I'm adding a few here for you to see what the will look like full grown.
The roos will grow out the comb very early on like at 6 weeks ours was prominent and very bright red. The hens took over 3 months to grow in fully.
I have posted all my bkue rocks I have of them through their growth. And yes. I love my rooster. He runs from me but I if I corner him. He doesn't attack or anything. He's soo sweet. If I catch him he sits on my hand with his feet just dangling. Done it since he was a baby. The female on the other hand was actually my 2nd layer and she started laying at about 4-5 months. Hope this helps. The one you have looks like a hen.

This is great information and I really appreciate you taking the time. Everything I have read points to hen for all 3 except my one is just huge compared to the other two and the feathering is coming in slower so I wasn't sure.

Most hatcheries sex birds but unless they're auto-sexing varieties it's in no way guaranteed, I believe I was told they generally get 80% accuracy. It's too young to be certain of thier genders, Id love to see updated pics in a few weeks : D
