5 Roos?

[mjhunter84]

I got 6 chicks from a farm. They seem to be a barnyard mix. They were born on Easter. One of the chicks has most of its wing feathers and part of its tail feathers. The other 5 have hardly any feathers. I have read that one sign of roo/hen is hens grow their feathers faster. Is it likely that I have 5 roos?

Another one of the 6 with different coloring.


Group shot, I do have 2 California White Leghorns and 2 Americana's. The rest are the 6.


The one with the most feathers is in the middle facing the camera.

Some of them do look like barred rocks. Really hoping some are hens and not all roosters!!
