How do I know if I have hens or roosters?

Hello!

I hatched a barnyard mix and my flock is now 13 weeks old. 3 out of 4 of them crow! Are they all roosters?

Pictures would help to determine if they are cockerels. But it does sound like they are if they are crowing.

Crowers are boys, pics of the non-crower?

Ok here they are. Only the first one hasn’t crowed.

The second picture...the one in the back is definitely a cockerel.

Okay thank you. He crows but not as often as the other two.

These appear to all be cockerels. Any other photos of the 1st one?

Here are some others. Is it okay to keep four cockerels? I feel bad giving them away.

All cockerels, 4 cockerels will work out great if you don't have pullets, and you would have to keep pullets out of sight/reach. Plus they won't turn mean, because pullets trigger that.
