Rooster or hen?

[JustBabyMargo]

How can you tell with the white one? I'll get a picture tomorrow of the other white one (same breed) we know he's a rooster but they look so different from each other.

His pointy hackles and saddles, and his red face give him away. His coloring is also male specific.

Are you saying that one of the cockerels keeps trying to mate with the other? That is pretty normal behavior. The one is just trying to prove it’s dominance.

Okay that makes sense, thank yall. The confusing part now is... if they are the same breed and same age wouldn't they both look the same kinda? I don't have a pic of the other one yet but can tomorrow. The one looks more like a rooster then the one I have a pic of up here. If I'm making sense

Well, not all EEs or roosters are the same. EEs vary, even if they came from the same place.

They aren’t the same breed.

The barred is a barred Plymouth Rock, and the other is an Easter Egger.

They aren’t the same breed.

I know the black ones not the same breed, I didn't have a pic of the other one up because we know he's a rooster

We are first time owners on hens/roosters. We bought 4 at tractor supply and she said they were all pullets. But there's been some conflicts on knowing if they are hens or roosters lately. They are roughly 4 months old. We know one is a rooster for sure and ones a hen for sure but these 2 we are uncertain, someone please help us figure this out

Update::: pictures of all of them. We know the brown ones a hen. Now I guess those 3 are cockrels?
