I ask because the white leghorn made what sounded like the beginnings of a crow today. I can't have roosters in the city (Mesa, AZ) so as soon as I can figure it out, I will have to fins a new home. Anyways, here are some photos, the first two are of the white leghorn, the next two are of my araucana, and the last two are of my cochin/RIR mix.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
 
How old are they?
The leghorn is the only questionable one, but even the hens grow really big combs once mature.
 
Oh sorry! Thanks for the quick response!

They are going on 9 weeks old.
 
Well, I suspected as much. I believe you, but I may hold out hope and wait until I hear a full crow!
 
I thought the combs on the leghorn pullets flop over.

I'm not sure, but looking around, I have seen photos of hens with floppy combs and some without.​
 
Welcome from Glendale, AZ.

At almost 9 weeks old, I think both the leghorn & 'araucana' are definitely roos. The cochin/RIR is still iffy - the wattles look like they're starting to grow a little early, but still could end up being a pullet. I don't know much about cochins and whether or not they mature early.

Here's a few pictures of my pullets when they were almost 8 weeks old, so you can see the diffence in combs & wattles.

Easter eggers (that the feed stores sell as araucanas) - real araucanas are rumpless/tailless (these are also almost 8 weeks old)

Thanks for the welcome ArizonaDesertChicks.

It's looking more and more like I may need to find a home for this (these!) roosters. That would be quite a downer.
