These are two of my four adopted chicks. They are approximately 7 weeks old. I would love it if anyone can tell me at this point if they are roosters or not.
 
I'd say cockerels, very red combs for 7 weeks old.

There's no real other signs to work with at this age yet but if they have single combs[one looks like it may have a rose comb, ah yes, I see in your older post, a Wyandotte or mix.] it should be pretty accurate to look at comb and wattle size and especially redness for sex.

Pea and Rose combs are trickier because they don't get as big, but a large amount of redness is usually telling.

Finally got the other two to hold still long enough for a photo....

What do you all think? Pullets or cockerels?
