Hi I am completely new at having chickens.

I am very confused as I have googled and found this chicken to have both characteristics of a hen and a rooster.

My questions is this black chicken a hen or a rooster??

Here is a bit of information:
Brought them all at 3-5 days old from a breeder that sells vent sexed to be hens
2 have been laying eggs for over a month
Black one developed comb and wattle before the other 2 and is quite large
Black one crows
Now almost 6 months old


Day I brought them


White one at about 1 month old


Red one at about 1 month old


Black one at about 1 month old


Now aged almost 6 months











 
The white one was in the nest laying an egg at the time so 100% sure she is a hen.
 
While hens do crow on very very rare occasions it's normally much older hens not young ones so the fact it's crowing is a bit of a giveaway you have a rooster. Is it also jumping on the other chickens and trying to mate?
