I just added 6 white leghorns to my flock. I was told all were hens. Three have large floppy combs and one has small pea comb. These 2 have large combs but they do not flop. Are they they roos.
Hens or Roos

We would need photos of all the birds. Leghorns are a common source of panic in regards to gender as hens do have surprisingly large combs

The birds pictured look like pullets to me.
Sorry - was not seeing photos before when I replied - was on my phone and don't always have the best luck using the site that way. Now that I can see the pics you posted I agree with @BantamLover21 the birds shown look like lovely WL hens. WL of both genders can have combs that flop or combs that dont. I would be curious to see a photo of the pea combed bird, though, as that is outside the norm for WL and it may be that you have a different breed on your hands (or just an anomoly)

Here are some more pics I know 2 are hens because I saw and heard them laying eggs today

the one with a pea comb is one that laid an egg today when I was watching I didn't realize she ducked down out of the frame as I took the picture

All female. There are no traces of male feathering on them at all.
