Do you think there is any chance that Rocky and Spencer might be hens that are getting ready to lay eggs or should I accept the fact that they are roosters?

They are 14 weeks old

OK, I give in. What to do with 5 roosters is the next question, I only have 13 hens so the numbers are not the best.

Never trust a sign that says "HENS"!!!

Is it the combs that are the dead give away or is there somethng else?

Thanks for looking everyone
 
At this age it's the combs, plus the lighter color and the thicker legs. A hen wouldn't have much comb at this age, and it wouldn't have red, they'd be darker in color and thinner legs.

Sorry

can you show a pic of the confirmed rooster next to the confirmed hen? I still can't see what Im supposed to see as far as saddle feathers are concerned and I want to know how to tell the difference!
