How old are the birds? Age, in weeks if possible, is key in evaluating gender characteristics. It would also be helpful to get photos that show each bird as fully as possible in a natural, standing position to better allow for seeing the various characgteristics that go into a gender ID.

These guys are apparently around 12 weeks but I think older maybe 16. I believe I have 2 crowing just hoping they aren't all roosters

There is a big difference when sexing chickens between 12 weeks and 16 weeks. If they are only 12-13 weeks all of them are cockerels. At 16 weeks, they may all still be cockerels (the pics are very poor angles and distances for judging gender) but you have at least two cockerels.

If you have two crowing, it would help alot if you only showed pictures of the ones that haven't crowed. It's very hard to see between chain link
