I've got two BR's and one I know is a rooster. He crows and has a huge comb.(BTW they're all 19 weeks old) my other BR I'm not too sure about. It doesn't crow..and its comb isn't that big but the way it walks sorta resembles a rooster. Here's a couple of pics.

Front is my certain too. Back is the uncertain one.

Any help?
 
Male Barred Rocks have wider bands of white and more narrow bands of black than females. Yours also have male saddle feathers. They are the long, thin feathers near the base of the tail.
 
Thank you...so far I think that I'm gonna keep both since I haven't seen any real fighting. Just some staring down each other and then running away. I've only got 9 hens so I don't know if that's a problem but since they're not fighting I guess I'm OK.
 
Both cockerels. If you want to try keeping them both, keep an eye more on your hens for being stressed and overmated than your roosters for fighting.
