Ok this should probably be obvious, but I have no idea. I bought 4 hens from a breeder. She was selling her flock of 50 hens and they were all in one large pen together. There were tons of free range chickens running around. I watched her take them all out together.
Yesterday the teenage boy who lives next door told me he thought one was a rooster. It is bigger than the others and the only one who fluffs up its feathers on its neck when we were catching them to put them in the coop. It is also the only one who will look straight up and try to fly out of the run. It has wire over the top so it could not get out. It looks exactly like the others except the fluffing of the neck feathers and it is larger. I have not seen it on the others backs but I do not see them a lot and when I am there they are still so scared of us they run into the corner. Are there any obvious differences between them I can look for?
