Do I have a too or hen ?help!

We bought a barnyard mix of 12 hoping to only get 1 rooster. We know we have 2 now because they are crowing and we have some suspicion about a few others. Please help if you can.

Don't want to get your hopes up too high but when I adopted a little lone sussex chick, EVERY indicator pointed towards rooster. Big feet, huge comb, male colouring, male feather patterns, every time it caught a glimpse of itself in the mirror it would poof up and get defensive (very rooster-y I thought). I also posted a picture, and many people said that the angular beak and some kind of look in the eye looked like a rooster. Started making lots of noise one day and thought it was about to crow. Instead, I went and found a little egg. SHE is very much a lady and absolutely beautiful. She grew out of her masculine features after she laid her first egg. I don't know what on earth happened, but I consider it to be a miracle because a rooster would've had to go. Even considered moving somewhere rural to keep "him".

Anyway, grey/brown one is definitely a rooster. I would say at least two of the black ones are too judging by their tails. I have to say though, one rooster in 12 chicks is highly unlikely!! I think that's a 1/4096 occurence?
