Can't Believe It - 6 week Old Pullet Crowing?

Honestly, I think I may have another roo, if the red comb and wattles at this age are the giveaway....that one doesn't act like a boss though, the way these two have. These two started fighting with each other at 2 weeks old.

Despite my best efforts, I have gotten a bit attached to these two, and the runt hen. Call me a softie, but they're not on the menu. I can see some rehoming happening.
Both pictured are cockerels, post pics of the other one.
 
Here's my flock. There's one more out of the picture that looks just like the other smaller ones. I assume they are hens, since their combs are only kind of pinkish.

Jumping in, you can’t keep all those boys with that many pullets.
Yeah, I've been alerted to that. I bought an Eglu Cube (getting delivered today!) to use as a bachelor pad til I figure out what I'm going to do with the extras. I want an "escape coop" anyway for time out or quarantining, so no biggie. I was supposed to only get one cockerel, but somebody accidentally pulled from the straight run probably.
