Photo of my pullets turned into cockerels....what do I do with them??

So, I'm almost 100% sure that 4 of my 6 Brahmas are roos. They aren't crowing yet but the feathers on their backs are growing very long and they have bigger combs than the other 2 and much redder faces. Is there any other conclusion to be made? And most importantly what should I do with them? I guess I could eat them but they all have names, and come when I call them, and fallow me around the yard, and my kids adore them......I guess what I'm trying to say is that they are pets. But I don't think I can keep 4 roos. I was suppose to have 1 roo and 5 hens. that is a 50% margin of error.

very disappointed,
