What Gender?? [Pictures]

It looks like most people think that my two cochins are roosters. How long before I know for sure? What age do they start to crow? Thanks
 
At that age, they are definately both males.

Here are three cochin chicks, about 3 months old. The frizzle in the middle is a pullet, the two smooth feathered ones on either side of her are cockerels, you can clearly see the difference. If either of yours were pullets, they'd look like the pullet here.

Boys! Both of them. My females are 4 months old right now, and they don't have very much, if any, red on their combs, and their wattles are non existant right now. I think you have two boys, I wasn't sure about the one with the lighter comb but the wattles on the two prove it for me. Love the frizzle!
 
Thanks everyone for the information. The picture that Lilpeeps Julie posted was very helpful. Yes they are both little roosters, I saw them crow their little baby crow sound today. Thanks, Sandy. Does anyone want a cochin rooster?
