Let me know what you think.

The faster I know, the faster I find them a good home and can replace them with hens.
 
If I had to decide and it was my birds I'd say your two on the left were roos. That is if they all three are the same age. The one on the right has smaller legs and a lighter comb and waddles and not so red as the other two.

The one on the right in the very top i'm fairly positive that is one of my 2 rir hens. The two with the bigger combs are my suspects in question.
 
1st photo - 2 roos (left) and one hen (right)
2nd/3rd photos - Roos... see how their feathers are shiny in the photos? Large combs/wattles...definitely roos.
 
Judging by the size of their combs and wattles and their size/age (I'm guessing around 12 wks. old) they are cockerels. The one off to the right in the first picture is a pullet.
