Can anybody help me sex these two chickens?

[Grimx18]

Hi, around 7/8weeks ago we found our lost hen with about 12 chicks, we thought it may be easier to sex them when they were older, we did try when we found them so had some idea. (We share the chickens we have between myself and my neighbours) originally we put them in my neighbours pen however they all started to attack and bully one until near death so we thought it best to move the injured one into the pen over at my house, we put another in with it so it wasn’t stressed or lonely, anywayyyyy we are Now getting rid of them, they are assumed to be around 8 weeks however over this time I have formed a strong connection with the two (that sounds rlly cheesy) however we already have a cockerel and can’t have another, I don’t want to split the two up because they never leave each other’s side, I need to make the decision to give them away now if I think one is a cockerel or not because I can’t find anyone who is willing to take a cockerel even for free, it’s easier to give them unsexed at this age, (sorry for all that info) the first photo is there mum and dad. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

could you get a close-up of both of their combs

Sure thing

Both white ones are Cockerels. You can tell by the triple comb bumps.

Those two are roos, because they have a 3-row comb. Could you also try to get a close-up of the brown EE?

We don’t have the browns anymore and that was an old photo, that is probably the second best pic I have of them, is it not possible for hens to have a three-row comb?

(Even if they're roos u could see if they get along with your existing rooster. How many hens do you have?)
