Could any one help to tell which is rooster?

I attached more pics. The last two pics(with bigger wings) are from the one with pin tail feathers. The first two pics are from the one with the pin feather tails. The wing feather are obviously different....Thanks all for helping!:th
Yup, Australorps. And still too young.

Okay, they are single combed. So they're Australorps. Combs are small for now, so watch for enlargement of the combs on the slower to feather ones?
 
Easy. Female Orpingtons feather out faster then males.

Females and males are easily sexed at hatch, or 3 days after hatch.

Females will have an irregular wing feather growth pattern following with long primaries, & short coverts.

Males their feather buds will be all even with coverts overlapping primaries.

Most common in males if you missed the window to sex at hatch is large pinkening combs, & no tail feathers at about 3-4 weeks sometimes 5 weeks depending on bloodlines.
Seems like mine is two male and one female....Two have no tail feather....Will wait a little bit longer... Thanks
 
Thanks. By the way does orps quiet? I'm thinking of hatching more eggs because I'm afraid only one hen. I searched and people said orps are quiet. Thanks again!
It usually depends on the individual, though some breeds tend to be more quiet or vocal than others.
