What gender are these guys?

Someone please let me know what breed gender you think the black and the brown chicken are. Either we have another rooster among our tiny flock or hens sound a lot like roosters. Do hens sounds a lot like roosters?

Hens don't crow

How old are they? I don't see any saddle feathers.

I got them on January 6th. I think the black one was about a week older than the brown one so maybe 17-18.5 weeks.

If they are all hens that loud one is going to have to go. She is soooooo loud.

We already had two obvious roosters show up out of this flock (saddle feathers and all), so I am guessing they are old enough to be showing signs. I just don't know, other than crowing, exactly how to tell. Someone said pointed neck feathers and I have decided I am not good at deciding what a pointed neck feather looks like because the black and brown and my easter egger all look like they have pointed neck feathers. I also think I do not have a clear idea of where or what saddle feathers look like.

Some hens can be loud, especially at laying time.

I hope that is all it is. Thanks!

They look like hens. Hens can crow, it is possible all you heard was a hen-crow.
