I don't know which one! They look the same to me. I was supposed to have 7 pullets. They are 9 weeks old now and as I went to let them out of the coop this morning someone crowed. I don't know who it was. I looked at my daughter as she said "what was that?" and then he did it again. Other than seeing him crow, how can I tell? I can't have a rooster here and he'll have to go. I think I know someone who can take him once I find out who "he" is. Can you tell? Or are both of these roosters? Or is it someone else? I'm so confused!

The other 2 pictures don't seem to have loaded so here they are again, each bird separately.

Is there a definite way to tell at this age other than the crowing?

The combs and wattle that big and red at 9 weeks is a pretty sure sign, plus they look to have the beginnings of some tail feathers.
 
The pictures won't show for some reason. Let me try one more time
 
I'm saying they are both roos. The one in front in the top pic for certain.
