Help with breeds and genders

Updated pic of black n red chicken. They're a little over 4 months old now. I can tell all the rest, but the red and black one is tricky. I'm leaning towards rooster, but no crowing and no other rooster tenancies. So... rooster or hen. Please help!

He's definitely a rooster, a cockerel, technically, no doubt about that. His comb and wattles are gigantic, and he has long hackle and saddle feathers.

Thank you! That's what I assumed, but his behavior is so off from a cockeral that I was questioning myself.
 
He's probably just the low man in the pecking order. :)
That makes sense. It's funny though cause he's usually just hanging with the pullets and the other two are up front and center. I know one is going to have to be removed, but I'm hoping the other two with the best attitude will be able to co exist. I guess only time will tell. :)
