The attachments are ones I tried to remove but now I cant figure out how to get them off...oh well
 
To me the first two look like boys and the third looks pullet. How old are they? Sorry to disappoint your four-year-old :(
In these pictures they are 11 1/2 weeks. They are now almost 17 weeks. #1 Roo roo is a rooster and can crow but wont when he can see you looking at him! #2 i am 95% sure is rooster but doesnt crow yet. Though Roo Roo is definitely dominant. #3 I pray is a hen. All signs I still think hen but my husband thinks rooster...he better not be right!

:weeI think number 3 is a pullet! Meet Luna soft fluffy tail, no sign of comb or wattles.

"FRIDO" (was supposed to be Frida), on the other hand, has comb and wattles, bigger more feathered feet 😳 streamier tail plumage and is a feisty fellow... very vocal, open beak when I hold him...tries to maneuver away from me. 10-12 weeks.
