Are my 7 1/2 week old Pullets Roosters

[MoototheCluck88]

This is our first time with chickens. How can we tell if the pullets are roosters? Here's some pics.




This one is really aggressive. Once our dog (in chicken friendly training) chased her/him around, and we think this may have contributed to their stubbornness. If any of them are roosters it's this one

Hi there. None of them look like obvious roosters to me...
I think that it's hard to tell by demeanor. There are some pullets and hens that are quite feisty, and some cockerals and roosters that are quite mild mannered.

I see a difference in the Hackle(neck) feathers, the longer pointed feathers are "probably" cockerels, I think the one in photo #4 is male (cockerel)

X2 photo 4 lookks rooish. I could be wrong but that's what I think.

Thanks. others have said #4 is a pullet, but we can't be sure. I'll try to get a full body/ back photo soon

If it is a roo when will it start crowing

 

[MoototheCluck88]

And how will the crowing affect my dog?

they usually start crowing 3 to 6 months
my dog does not mind crowing, she hates owls hooting, maybe she realizes that it is a predator
