I asked about these before and my response was mostly roos. So far only one has crowed. They are 9 weeks old. The pictures were taken at seven weeks and they haven't changged much.

I think the black one is a roo because his comb is raised.

There are no ridges on this one's comb at all.

I can't tell much any difference in the size of their legs.

Thanks for your help!

That last one has a pretty wide comb. I am not sure if that means a roo or not. But all of my EE pullets have just a fine thin comb and all the ones I gave away as roos had thick combs. I know for sure one of them was a roo because he was crowing at about 6 weeks.
 
I took these this morning. Maybe they will be better.

All their tails and legs look similar to me.
 
The brown one looks like a roo to me only because of the pink starting in the comb. My pullet EE who was 8 weeks old did not have one twinge of pink in her comb. I had the same problem with my 8 week old Roo EE, nothing real significant, just a little pink and a slightly larger comb. Three days ago he crowed

I say roo because of the pink AND how wide the comb is! If you have ones with a MUCH slimmer comb... I'd say pullet.
