Update:
2 still is not crowing to my knowledge and continues to be chased around by 1 but does not chase the hens ( 3&4 ).

I was only solid on 1 being the rooster, but besides the comb, the streamers on the neck are what I watch for on mine.

I have 3 kinds as of this year. The bearded/vaulted, the backyard ones, and one mini that I have no clue where she came from but once she finally came out of her lifetime molt, I see she's half the size of the rest. Her eggs are .90 oz. The others are 1.3 - 1.6 oz.

2 is a cockerel but the other two -#3 and #4 - are hens.
