Please, help identify - 3m.o. - hens or roos? (pics)

I think 1 and 3 are pullets, and 2 and 4 are roos.
I think this from what I can see in the pics.
#1 has a nice size comb and #3 has a nice red comb, but I can't see any rooster feathers. Red comb on a hen normally means at point of lay.
#2 seems to have a bigger comb than #1 and #3, also I see saddle feathers. Also seems to have thicker legs than #3 in the pic with them together
#4 comb does not say much but he does have saddle feathers.
 
1 - looks like an australorp pullet
2 - australorp cross cockerel
3 - EE (looks like black ameraucana X) My guess is pullet. I have a very similar looking pullet who has just started to redden up. I think the EE pullets redden a bit earlier.
4 - EE cockerel

Those would be my guesses.
Pretty birds...I love the shots of them walking on the stone wall.
 
Thanks so much!!

thank you! They are completely free-ranged right now, but that will most likely end very soon. They still live in our basement - very dirty and dusty. The coop and fence around it is almost ready - certainly not nearly as nice place for them to be as what they get while free-ranging, but at where coop is located is not as safe and we afraid they'll be gone very fast if not behind the fence.​
