Roosters?

We have 10 chickens who are at least 6 weeks old (got them 6.5 weeks ago but don't know the exact age we got them). They were all supposed to be pullets, but I'm thinking we have two roosters. We aren't allowed roosters in our city, so I have homes lined up for any I get. I want to be sure they are roosters before I rehome them though. I'm thinking the lighter barred rock and the taller brahma are because the comb is so much larger than the others and they are getting their wattles already as well. My untrained eye doesn't see the difference in feathers that they say to look at. Just looking for any opinions to see if my suspicions are right - these 2 are always fighting with each other as well. I hope these pics are okay. I wanted to get a pic of both brahmas next to each other but that didn't work of course.

Those aren't seen until 10 weeks at the earliest. Usually coloser to 12.

The BR is a cockerel indeed. His double wide white barring confirms wiht the other clues seen.

I would hesitate to say 100% yes on the Brahma but they can be a little slower developing and according to your description.. perhaps.
