Yet Another “Is It A Roo?” Post

[NorthernMIFlock]

We have 6 chicks that hatched 6/18 and 6/19, almost 12 weeks now. I’m usually pretty good about picking out the cockerels early on, but the 2 pictured have me stumped. There’s def 2 males in the group, already crowing and mounting the adult hens. The 2 in question are not doing either, but the tails have me confused. They also don’t have red combs yet, and def smaller legs then the males. Breed is barnyard mix. The one multi colored one is one of the cockerels for comparison. Thx for any feedback.

The only male I see is the brown one.

Definitely not true. You have one cockerel. Can you get clearer pictures?

Yes I know the last pic is the cockerel, the yellow and the grayish one are the ones I’m not sure. Really it’s just their tails, both have a sickle type curl. I will try for more pics again tomorrow.
