Cockerels or pullets?

I got 4 sex-linked olive eggers this year that were supposed to be hens. I suspect BCM x One turned out to be a cockerel, but he looked different than the rest at 3 days old with a little white spot on his head. He was barred and made his gender known by 6-8 weeks old with his crowing. Now all 3 of the others looks suspiciously like cockerels, too. They’re beautiful, but with our flock of only 22, I can’t have 6 roosters. All the black feathers are rounded, but the brown feathers look kind of pointed. Plus, the long feathers overhanging their tails look suspicious. They’re just over 3 months, born about 6/1.
