I am pretty sure the two white leghorns are roosters, but on is much more slender than the other one, and while the comb is redder than the other pullets, not quite as red as the obvious rooster chick.

I never can do pictures! They are an assortment of leghorns, and while I had heard they were a bit more flighty than other birds, that is an understatement. Holy moly are they flighty. I am pretty sure they two white ones are both roosters. Just wishful thinking.
 
Its hard to tell with leghorns based on my limited experience. Their combs are pretty big in general. You would need to get pictures of their feathers a specifically if they have saddle feathers. You might want to check out @The Moonshiner leghorn threads for more info. I only have them by accident but all of mine are hens.
 
They are almost 2 months old, and I am going to pull the cockerels to a grow out pen. I like the brown leghorn, and I think I will leave him with my layers, hoping that my current rooster keeps his manners polished.
