Sometimes it is hard to tell. If these chickens are two or three months old, the first one looks like a rooster, the second and third look like hens. I can't really tell from the picture of the fourth. Does it have a rose comb or a single comb?

Well I don't know what you'd call it, they all 4 came from the same hen house. It is a mixed breed and I always thought mixes were called EE's?

The forth one has a rose comb.

edit: ta add,,,, and the same breed hen as yuour first roo, is behind the roo,, their both looking like BO's,,, she has a WAY smaller comb, and stature then him.

# 4 is a pretty chicken. The tail feathers look more like a hen. I think I would call it a hen at least two or three more weeks.

Here is another pic of #4 a little closer

#4 has some serious saddle feathers going on. Kinda looks like a Delaware cross.

#4 is a definite roo! Those saddle feathers are a dead giveaway.

Thank you, that's what I was hoping for cuz I already went out and got his transport cage ready for tomorrow.

He is a pretty bird but 1 roo is quite enough for me and he may not stay if he doesn't learn to be alittle more gentle with the ladys.
