Roosters or Hens - 6 weeks old. Are all 3 roosters?!

[thronesandroses]

One of our chickens went broody and ended up surprising us with 3 new chicks! They are 6 weeks old in two days. I’ve read that at 6 weeks hens shouldn’t have a very developed comb or wattle, but all 3 of these do!

Is it possible/likely at all 3 are roosters, or is this normal? We would be very sad if all 3 turn out of to be roos.

All look like cockerels

Do you know anything about the breed mix? Some breeds will have larger combs and wattles at 6 weeks, but if that is the case the cockerals have even larger and redder combs.

Thank you for the feedback! The roo is an ayam cemani, the hen we are not positive because she was a rescue, but we are pretty sure she is a white leghorn.

I would wait a bit before "deciding what to do with the roos" Leghorns have larger combs and wattles than most breeds.
