Hello, I purchased these chicks at my local feed store and all were guaranteed pullets. I don’t know their hatch day or how old they are. I’m estimating about 6 weeks maybe..
Do any look like possible Roos?

I would say 1 is most likely a cockerel. That red comb so young is what I am basing my opinion on.
 
Guaranteed means you can exchange a cockerel for a pullet. Which isn’t likely from the feed store. They just order sexed chicks from a hatchery so they go off what they ordered. There is always a risk it’s just a higher risk when they/you order straight run. Just so you know in the future it’s always best to have a cockerel plan in place whether it’s the freezer or rehoming.

Thank you !
