Ok, I have 4 RIRs and I suspect 3 of them may be roosters… but I would appreciate any feedback! I think they are about 8weeks old.

Here are the three suspected:

This is the one I think is a pullet (closer of the two):

Thanks for the input!
 
Ok, so I am really not sure about this Pullet (?). About 3 weeks ago, we got rid of the 3 roosters, and added 3 new chicks (obviously with the look but no touch integration for a couple weeks) to the flock. Prior to these changes, she definitely looked different than the Roos (smaller waddles, more red on the tail, etc). Rosie has since produced dark green tail feathers, started crowing (not quite loud and in your face like I typically have heard from a rooster, but definite syllables and usually only in the morning when it happens) and combs and waddles are very red. Is she just trying to assert herself and about to lay (17 weeks old) or is she really a Ross instead of a Rosie? See attached pics:
