Who's up for guessing the sex of my 6-week-old BR and EE?

I have a BR, EE and BO that are all about 6 weeks old. I'm new to chickens so I'm still learning what the early differences are between the boys and the girls.

I feel pretty certain that the BO is a girl. It sounds silly, but she just gives off the girl vibe - she's smaller than the other 2 and very sweet and docile.

She EE and BR are supposed to be girls, but you know how that goes. Both have combs that are starting to change a bit, but since I'm new to chickens I'm not really sure on what to expect.

Here's some pics if you're up for giving your opinions!!

For all I know it's so obvious to seasoned chicken folks when they see the pics that mine are indeed all girls.... but since I'm new, what do I know? Any thoughts???

Thanks!

Edited to add a pic of the BO (even though she gives off a girl vibe in a most-girly way! LOL)

Added a pic of the BO in the original post. I didn't put her in originally because she just reeks of girl chicken - LOLOL. But I added her just in case. LOL.

Thanks all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just curious as to what makes you think the BO is a roo. I am no where near an expert, but I think it looks like a pullet.

Edited to add: I think the other two are pullets as well.

BO is 100% girly girl. The other two look like pullets to me. I have 8 week olds now and the roo's sticks out like a sore thumb.
 
I will say all girls as well.

The BR is really dark, boys are much lighter. The EEs tail is definitely a pullet tail and my BO pullet has a comb and wattles like that, but no redness. The little roo BOs I have had get red combs before 2 months and a different shaped tail than the girls.
