I’m pretty sure I have a roo out of my 3 girls I purchased from farm n fleet that were all said to be pullets. Can anyone help me sex them... they are 7 weeks. I can try and get other pics if needed. Thanks In advance! Image 1 is sunny, image 2 is cake and image 3 is Izzy- the one I’m assuming is a roo. She was the biggest when I got her. The others have caught up in size. I don’t see a difference in feet or leg size, and I’m not very good at telling if the wing feathers look different.

Speckled sussex can be difficult, but it's a fair bet that red or pink comb at that age equals rooster. I know the third picture is a cockerel. The second picture may also be-7 weeks is too young for pinking. The first one so far looks like a pullet.

Their tails are brown and black with white on the ends, while their beaks are brownish-pink. Male Speckled Sussex chickens have a dark mahogany head, neck, and saddle with the tip of almost every feather adorned with white and a black bar that lies between the white tip and the remainder of the feather.

hope this helps!

They also go through a juvie molt phase and stay hen feathered for longer than you think, which makes them tricky. Idk for sure, but the combs don't lie, especially that early.

The third pic is a definite roo. Hens don't get that much comb and wattle until they're at point of lay. The first one seems like a pullet and the second one I'm not sure, but leaning towards pullet for now, based on the smoother coloring and small comb on the first one which tends to be a female trait.
