4 roosters and two hens?

If the two in question are the same age, then yes, the big red comb gives it away as being a roo.

His legs also look thicker than the other bird too, another indication of a roo.

Pretty sure they hatched at the same time although I am not sure on their ages. They were just lil end of April..not under a light still but lil so maybe 5-6 weeks then.. not too sure.
Hard to say...looks like it has saddle feathers, but tail looks like a hen. Waddles aren't big yet...could be a hen nearing point of lay. I was just going to say that it DOESN'T look like the legs are thicker than the other bird's. Tricky one - might just have to wait and see on this one (or hear a crow).
They carry their tails totally different.. one up and one down. The black and white one has a bright/bigger comb and wattle and the other is small and more pale. They do have the same dad.. he is white with like 3 black feathers.. Mom's are up for debate but thinking the white and red one is a RIR and the black and white looks similar in coloring or was all black

He seems to have luck with roos so there won't be any crowing (as of right now 3 of the babies before these turned roos and one before that so that is a total of 5 for sure roos running around out there!) Guess we will just wait a lil longer and see what he says when he gets back.. maybe he can give me pointers!

Thanks ya'll for your help!
