Hi Everyone,
I think I have two roosters but I am new to this so if you can confirm my thoughts I would appreciate it.
The above pic the black one and lower multi colored I believe is are rooster.




this black is the same as the above


thanks for your help!

A lot of times you can tell them apart through personality. For example if he's starting to be aggressive or they are the first to inspect a new thing before the flock comes near. But, the beggining of a red crown and a wattle would tell. How old are they?
 
I think they are about four weeks. They had the red combs and both have rooster behavior. I just wanted to double check before they are rehomed this weekend.
 
I'm not positive they are roosters - individual pictures and a bit clearer would help, but I think the black one is for sure, and the possibly the other. You may want to wait until you are certain before rehoming them though. A few more weeks would probably be more definitive.

There were funny. I was trying to get a good picture and my phone must have been very intresting, lol.
 
Compare the possible roosters to, must be the same breeday, a younger female. Look at the primary wing feathers. They will most likely be longer. You can also check the tail feathers in the same manner as you would with the wings. The tail feathers will most likely be long and starting to curl depending on how old they are.
