Can anyone here tell which of these EE chicks is a rooster? I've asked several people and everyone says, "it's too soon to tell." They're coming up on being 11 weeks old. I'm fairly certain that one of them is a rooster, but there are two-three others I am not sure about. See pics, I circled the rooster, his name is Teddy 😊 I included another pic of just him as well.
Thanks for any input!

has the one you thought to be a rooster started his baby crows?
I haven't heard any crowing, but I haven't been near enough during crowing hours. My sister said she heard one of them when she stayed over and I was keeping them in the house. They were around 5 weeks old at the time.
 
Based on posture of the last one I would say hen.
I realized I don't have any good straight on shots of his mane. I mean, he could be a she, but of all the chicks, that's the only one with a long mane, and he acts like he's the top dog of the group. He is also the most alert, and very rotund.
