Little and Red are both cockerels. Fluffy is a pullet. Look at the difference in the size and color of their combs and wattles. And Little has some seriously well developed shanks! They look a little young to be crowing yet, but I've some boys will start as early as 5 weeks, so you never know!
 
Thanks that's what we were thinking but not sure since we are new to chickens. I have 16 more that are in the brooder now but they are only 2 weeks old.
We can't have roosters where I live so should I get rid of them now or wait just to be sure.

Up to you, a lot of folks grow them out to about 15 weeks then eat them..or give them away or ...???

They look a bit older than 2 weeks, usually color in the males combs/wattles doesn't really pop until 5-6 weeks.
