How much longer should I wait to really have confirmation, as of right now, I only have 1 Hen, ( 1 outta 5, ugh) If these 3 are indeed all Roos

Styx - The Cochin's development is very pullet like. My Cochin boys at that age have more feather/bald patches, and larger red combs at that age.

Fluffy - The Silkie is a rooster. His single comb is to large, and the crest is small and slants backwards. Hens have global crests, that are full and round.

Tully - This color is called Silver Duckwing. Plymouth Rocks do not exist in Silver Duckwing, but they do exist in Silver Penciled (Penciling is a design that will appear on the feathers if Tully is a female, if Tully is a rooster he will look just like a Silver Duckwing). Leghorns do, but Leghorns have white ears. (Tully has red ears.) It looks like you may have a gamefowl of sorts, as Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks are very rare. Where did you purchase Tully?
Also, I wouldn't write Tully off as a boy yet. Duckwings and Silver Penciled fowl are sexed by color. Males have blotchy black chests, and blotchy black spots on their feathers, and females have smoother colors and a salmon brown chest. So far, Tully has a female coloration, but I would keep an eye on Tully just in case as sometimes the male colors take some time to come in. If you ever notice blotchy black spots, Tully is a rooster.

I received all of the birds from a lady who said she picked up a mix batch, so she was not sure of all of there breeds.I can call her and ask exactly where she go them. She is allowing me to bring back any Roos so that I can try to get all my Hens ( which is what i want, all hens)

Can you tell me about how much longer till I can be 100% sure of the Gender of the Cochin( Styx) and Tully?

Within another month you should be able to tell. Just look for the indicators of color, comb, strange body type (males tend to grow awkwardly), and temperament.

Cochin: (Look at the difference in the comb! Cochin roosters develop a lot faster then the hens. If you see a larger red comb and it isn't approximately the time for a pullet to start laying, then you have a Cockerel)
Can you see the cockerels?


Tully
The following birds are Silver Duckwing Ameraucanas.
Pullets (see the even coloring and brown chests)


Cockerel (notice the black chest and blotchy white and black)
