I have 4 black mystic onx that are about 8 to 9 weeks old. Is this a rooster on the left? The one closest to the camera kinda looks like it to me aswell. Also what can i look for on them to tell if the others might be as well or is it to early?

Bright red combs and wattles at this stage are pretty good indicators of a cockerel. Females usually redden up close to point of lay. Also, when they get a bit older males will develop pointy saddle and hackle feathers and females will have more rounded feathers. Hope this helps some.

They are solid black so they wont have any red on them. Here is a picture of an matured Onyx

Just going off of wattle development, it sort of looks like you may have 2 cockerels.
I took more pictures tonight. Its looking like 3 out of the 4 are cockerels. The one going into the coop is the only one who doesn't have a big wattle.
