For the past week+ or so every time our clock radio alarm goes off we have someone crowing. It's brief, but distinct. Then nine minutes later (snooze button) they do it again.

I've tried setting out a camera, but no luck. Also, if I'm outside (or the dogs), nada...

They are all approximately 6 months old.

We were told they could be:
Brahma
Houdan
Maran
Easter Egger
Mixed Breed

One passed away due to a cold @ ~4 months (we thought she was the Brahma).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know anything about the breed but the 2nd one (Houdan) looks very roo to me.
One thing that I have done in the past is put the suspected crower off in a pen in another part of the yard for an hour or two.
Sometimes that moving alone will bring out the crowing.
If I hear crowing from that part of the yard, I know.
 
The first one is a pullet, but the rest are roos (with the possible exception of the other white one, I can't really tell either way).
