Out of your barred birds the big one in the middle is a cockerel, and I think the one on the left with a larger comb might also be a cockerel. The third is a pullet.
 
The good news is that none of the 3 young barred ones have single barring (like the rooster or cockerel in the 3rd picture) and their legs are pretty thin (not thick like a cockerel's). And I don't see any male-specific feathering yet.
 
I would think they would have some male-specific feathering by now. Can you look closely to see if some of the hackle and saddle feathers are narrow and pointy?
