I suspect I have three roosters here unfortunately the only rooster I intended to have was a bresse who was not pictured here. I’m asking for input from people who would know better than I would I suspect I already know two of them are roosters I’m hoping you’ll tell me the third one isn’t. One of the pictures I’m fairly certain 1 is A hen but she doesn’t seem to grow a comb, she was not mold or damaged by one of the other chickens she just doesn’t seem to grow A comb.

The last one is a pullet. The others are cockerels.
Unrelated, but what is that red thing on third cockerel's neck (the one with the crest)?
 
Oh forgot to add all except for MAYBE the hen with virtually no comb are Austrolorp / Cream Legbar mixes. All in the vicinity of 5 months within 2 weeks of age. Lady I got them from only kept two breeds. Both of her Roosters were Black Austrolorps.

Rooster collar. One of them literally just let off A failed crow attempt for the first time at 5 A.M. this morning. 5 Months old 0 Crows till this morning. Never seen any of the 3 try to mate the hens. Alpha hen is the only one that does the "Egg Song" if that speaks to "Pecking Order". For lack of A better way to say it all 3 of what are apparently roos are "Betas".
 
You can definitely see the Australorp in those boy's.
Their personality is polar opposite. They give my leghorn pullets A run for their money in terms of flightiness and being anti-social. I understood Cream Legbars to usually be reasonably calm.
