I got my chickens from Tractor Supply 3 weeks ago today. 4 out of 6 of them have developed combs, is this a sign that they're roosters?

Doodle was sold as an Australorp pullet.
Dumpling was in the assorted bantam bin and I've learned that he/she is a Sebright.

Patty and Shelly were sold in a "Silver Laced Wyandotte Pullet" bin. I was told they're really Buff Orpingtons. Patty is significantly darker, bigger and they have different comb shapes. When I searched her it the first thing that pops up is Orpington chicken but when I search Shelly the first thing that pops up is BROILER chicken?! 😭 Please help.. 🥹

Not necessarily but it's to early to tell, once they are fully feathers post new pictures of the whole body of them.

Did u buy pullets or straight run? Straight run you have a bigger chance of getting cockerels in the mix
I edited my post. This is my first time posting on the forums and I accidentally posted before I was ready. 😅
