Help me find which one is crowing!

Well this is all pretty shocking. Somewhat glad I didn't get too attached to these guys then. I'll see what the farm says when I tell them I have 4/6 roosters when they have a 90% hen guarantee. And that first black one, Penny, definitely a roo or still questionable?

What exactly is everyone looking for in terms of sexing these? I can take better pictures, I just don't know what I'm looking for. And I will take pictures of both the RIRs because I don't even know anymore....

The size of the wattles and combs and how red they are for their age. You will notice that your two pullets have little comb development in comparison to that of the boys.

Figured I would post more up to date pictures! And everyone is positive the two black ones are cockerels? They are all 10 weeks old now.

They all look like Roosters except Patty, sorry

The red in the bottom picture is a pullet. The other pictures are all cockerels.

Just as an update, I kept this black australorp and the two RIRs. This guy started crowing a few weeks ago. Returned him last week, and the farm had two available pullets: a dark cornish and an ameraucana. So I took them, and the RIR sisters weren't too happy with the exchange. They're no longer pecking at eachother but the newcomers aren't coming out of the coop (I've been leaving the coop door open into the run). I'm not even sure both of them are eating. Either way, all the chickens are scared of me, which is kind of depressing. I've got 1,000 mealworms on order I'm going to try and breed, so hopefully it's not too late to get them to not be deathly afraid of me.
