7 Stars that are 16-18 weeks old. Hens or Roosters?

Individual pictures of each chicken would be helpful. It is kind of hard to tell, and the pictures are a little blurry. But from what I can see from the pictures, it looks like two roosters and the rest hens. But I don't k ow for sure, because I can't see very well.

Hard to check out when they have their heads down to the ground. Need them standing up.

Cockerels would have rooster feathers by 16-18 weeks.

But, I suspect that they're barnyard mixes around 10 weeks old and you have at least two cockerels. This is because two of them have coloring that suggests young male but no rooster feathers yet. They also don't look fully grown and near laying age but more like juveniles.

Agree with debid. In your first picture there are three birds in the corner of the coop. The two birds that are brown and black mixed (not the pure black one) are certainly cockerels. The rest look like pullets at this point but better pictures will help.

Yep, that's them.
