This is my first time raising chickens from chicks. I know the comb and waddles give away roos early on but I have one I think is a roo and one I am not sure on. I am sure the last one is a pullet but am worried there are more than one roo in the bunch. They are 10 weeks old is it to early to tell still?
I swear I have two trying to crow at each other.

thank you all. I was worried they both was roos. now can they coexist or is it better to have just one? I have never had a rooster before. I have 6 - year old hens besides these chicks.

they can coexist... if they don't have any females around. Otherwise they will start fighting over the female population. The typical ratio is 6-10 females to one male... and even that can fluctuate. Some of them boys are greedy.
