[Faraday40]

The pic below (not mine) is a good comparison. Male is in the front.with a female right next to him.

this is the two I'm questioning whether male or female, I think the one that you can only see the head of is female

That's a tough one. (I'm not very experienced & can't tell if there is any wattle development in the pic.) If you have pics from when it 1st hatched, there are ways to tell by the head spot.
Here's a good link showing the differences (In Dom chicks, but BR's are very similar.)

Did you get them from a straight run or an all-pullets bin? If the former, you did a great job of picking what are likely pullets for all three. Signs point to these all being girls.

I believe straight run. But I don't know for sure. I hope they are all pullet! Two of the three kids named. The third my husband named lol

@aoxa how true are the spots on chicks from Barred rock hens crossed with Lavender Orpington or EE/buff roos? Here are my first two in this hatch
