We have seven chics, two that really look like roosters to us newbies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Approximately 4wk old chics. Gender guesses please.

The only one I'm seeing that shows signs of maybe being a cockerel is the very last one you posted due to the reddening of the comb.
You cannot tell gender from wing feathers. The signs you are looking for at this age are reddening and developing of the combs and wattles

I was told you can tell by wings. I'll look for better color shots of there bodies. Thank you
Actually no, this only works if a chick is crossed specifically for this sex linked trait, and you can tell the gender by the wing feathers for the first couple days. After that, even the ones that were bred for it cannot be reliably sexed by that method.
