Where did you get them? They all look like pullets except #3. It's pretty developed in the comb/wattles for 9 weeks. If it's a hatchery bred cuckoo Marans, then it's a very early pullet. If it's a barnyard mix, cockerel.

They actually are from the elementary school I work at. They did a incubation project and I took all of them! Lol I would think barnyard, the eggs said Rr, Br, Bp. I'm guessing reds, rocks, and black pullets? I am 99% certain 3 is a rooster and will rehome to a friend. Him and #5 fight and "she" is big and mean! I'm glad you think she's a pullet probably tho!! Thanks!

Looking like a pullet at 9 weeks is not a guarantee that it is a pullet, it just means that there aren't any obvious cockerel signs yet. There aren't any obvious pullet signs, either, with these colors.
 
interesting update: the only hen here was the little black one. that's it! the rest eventually started crowing and such with #3 being by a land slide the first to mature. Looks like i need alot of hens now...
