Rooster or Hen?

[AnnapolisChickens2021]

We got 4 chicks that were sold as baby hens, but 1 of them has been making different noise in the morning the last few days. That one and also one other in the group of 4 are also definitely bigger than the other 2. My 7 year old is the reason for the chickens and she’s amazing with them, but she’ll be devastated if we have to give 1-2 away if they turn out to be roosters (not allowed where we live). Can you help identify? They’re about 4 months old or so (and we love them! ) Thank you so much!

Pic 1 (all black chick—maybe a black star or black copper Martin breed?) is the one starting to make crow like noises.
Pic 2 (barred rock breed i think)

It seems like any pictures you tried to upload failed to do so. Could you try posting them again?

Sorry, but both of them looks like a roo to me. A pullet would have a much smaller comb at this age.

Could it be possible their particular breeds have larger combs?

I am sorry, but I agree that both look like cockerels. They both have large, bright red combs, the first one has curved, iridescent tail feathers, and the barred rock has light barring (which usually indicates male).

They are both cockerels, unfortunately.

First one definitely a rooster you can tell by the tail which you can compare to some of your other hens. The second I think is also a cockerel because of the comb and wattle development

Nope. Two males.

Both are cockerels. I'm sorry.
