Roosters? Maybe they are bad pictures but they all have been laying eggs everyday. So im confused lol none of them crow or anything.

Hmmm, if you look at the first picture for example the saddle feathers (feathers by the tail) are pointed down, and he also has sharp pointy spurs.

You could certainly be right im brand new to chickens so i have no idea but they havent crowed or anything like that so i was assuming lol

They are all hens. Spurs definitely are not exclusive to roosters, and the two pictured that have visible spurs do not have any masculine feathering and have feminine colorations.

The first, third, and fourth pictures appear to be some kind of gamefowl or gamefowl mixes. None of them have the appropriate leg or earlobe color for a Leghorn, so it's pretty unlikely that's what any of them are.

The one in the second picture, I'd like to see a picture of her standing up if possible. I'd guess she's a mix of some kind, maybe a kind of black sexlink as mentioned by the other poster, but I could not give you any more certain of an answer than that from the picture provided.

Good point. I assumed the first one was a rooster because of the saddle feathers

All hens 1000%. Idk what some of the other people were saying. A couple of them look like American gamefowl or gamefowl mixes. The first one is probably a kelso or kelso mix. The third one is probably a grey mix. I know there's a gamefowl breed that looks like that dark one but I don't know it right now. They all look gamey to me.
