I'm actually thinking only #2 and #3 are boys. Normally I would agree with your guesses, but my cochin bantam rooster developed very, very quicly.
My hen actually reddened up a little around the same age of yours, but her comb only grew and got completely red before she started laying.
I could be wrong of course, but I'm going by what I experienced with my own birds.

My rooster at around 3-4 weeks old:
