How would you guys separate them out until spring breeding? This one is in with 2 other roos and 9 hens and I was going to move them out when they started crowing. Since they grew up together could I take the 2 out and put them by themselves in another coop without hens?

Yup! That's called a bachelor flock, and they should be good together, as long as they don't have any hens with them.

Cockerel

Do you guys think it would be a cockerel even though I hatched one out a month or so after this one and it's crowing but this one isn't?

Yes. It is a cockerel without a doubt. He is being submissive to the crowing cockerel.
