Could someone please help me? I ordered 10 Americauna ladies through tractor supply. 7 of them have rooster characteristics and I'm desperate for someone else's help. My last picture shows the lady who started crowing at 6 weeks old. They are all large bodied with real big feet except 3 of them. I think they are to Young to tell by feathers at 7 weeks. They love sitting on my shoulders an fight for the spot, like coming flying feet first to push the other one off. When emotions are intense they will try to fight for the spot on top of my head, which I don't allow. I always thought roosters only chest but roosters which makes it appear I may have gotten only 3 hens. I'm wondering if they sent the wrong order. They are extremely friendly and I don't want to get further attached if they are roosters. I'm thinking of taking the roosters to auction but I want to be certain they aren't hens. I'd love someone else's input!!!

The last one has a bright comb, so looks like a rooster from the pics I've seen. The others can you do body shots of them? Nothing is saying rooster to me from just head shots. But I am new to this.
 
My pullets (11 weeks) do the chest bumping all the time. If I went by personality, I’d say two of my pullets are cockerels, while the suspect roo would be firmly in the pullet category.
