Hen or Rooster??

Let me get some more pictures of both chickens. Yeah I know that that Easter Egger in the back ground is a rooster

If they aren't Austrathorps what breed are they? Sorry everyone I am a newbie.

Probably Jersey Giants.

Both are roosters.

They aren't Australorps, for one thing. I can see yellow skin showing through their webbing on their feet. Australorps have white skin. I think they are much younger than you were told. They look like 12 to 16 week old cockerels. The male saddle feathers are just starting to come in on their backs.

Good catch on the yellow skin!

They both look like Jersey Giant cockerels

I'm sorry but tail feathers don't lie, those are cockerels. Here is an Australorp hen:

Awe man. Is it good idea to have three Roosters together or should I remove one or both?

I would remove 2 of them, less stress for you and your hens.
