Welsummers- I’m pretty sure 2 Roos, what do you say?

These are my first Welsummers and I hear they have definitive color variations between sexes.
I’ve had great luck picking pullets out of a group based on temperament. Pick the most timid, the one that runs from you and tries to hide under another chick; that one’s the pullet. If the chick is likeable and has a personality, rooster...I’ve only had one rooster in the past 5 years.
the current panic buying and stay at home orders forced me to go a different way this time. I wanted to add 6 chicks to my flock and I couldn’t find any. In desperation, I bought 3 Welsummers from a friend who said he had all pullets and I wasn’t able to come in the house to pick them out. I was handed a box of 3 chicks.
I opened the box and right away both my husband and I said “That ones is a roo” and we named him Steve.
Steve and his ladies are now 9 weeks old, and Steve is definitely a him...but I think he may have a buddy.

Take a look at these three and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the confirmation, that’s what I suspected.
I should have known better than to let someone else choose my birds.
