Hi I am trying to figure out if all of my chickens are roosters! I have 4 Wynandottes. They are all 4 months old. Im afraid that they are all roosters though! I am trying to get pictures to post. Ive looked at a lot of the previous posts for this and had a few questions. Does a "fuzzy" chicken butt mean hen? Also all of their saddle feathers are kind of pointy looking but I wasnt sure if that was a trait that comes with the lacing or not? Plus the one with the fuzzy butt has a super stop sign bright red large comb and wattle? all other physical traits looks more like a girl. None of them have big tail feathers yet. And none of them crow. I know there is very little info to go on but I'd appreciate any help or advice on what to look for. I will try to get pictures asap.
 
Pictures?

In my limited experience with my 2 girls, both had red wattles and combs very, very early, I knew we had 2 girls by age 10 weeks or so, the coloring was different and such, so don't strictly go by color, once you post some pics we can probably give you a better idea, or if you need pics I can upload any week up to 21 since our girls just turned 21 weeks.
 
Thankfully the baby took a long nap so I was able to get pics sooner than I thought. There are 4 chickens in question:

Thanks everyone for you input!
 
The bird's roo-ish stance, the irregular lacing on the feathers, the thickness of the legs, the size and redness of the comb and wattles are what tell me boy. Also the feathers on its back fall down to the sides like saddle feathers do. A hen wouldn't have them like that.

Wish you could keep one though.
