May i ask the identifying marks that you see that makes them a cockerel? I know the waddles and combs are more pronounced and red, but have been told that hens may have those bright and large too.. im rehoming the all black one this morning.. can get quite aggressive with me if i try to lean in the coop.. but i really love the cream/ brown one and have a love/hate with the black and white, both are my first batch of chickens.. sigh

Large combs and wattles at this age are a dead give away. Hens combs usually get red right before they start laying. Red patches such as the first ones is another indicator of a male. The first and last bird also have pointed hackle feathers growing in.
