Are all of these really roosters?

I did the same. I ordered 10 silkies and got 6 roosters. I kept 1. My hubby told me next time pay the extra lol. But unfortunately we can't always do that
At the time it seems like it's sooo much and then once you get them your like, "Why didn't I just pay one dollar".

I don't know who thought you'd get better than half females when you get straight run, but it's pretty simple math. I mean, each hatch is a gamble in itself, but overall, half the chicks are male and half are female. That's basic probability. Personally, I think you got off pretty lucky...I'm too chicken to get straight run from a hatchery. Then again, I hatch a ton, so I serve myself straight run all the time

It's why I got comfortable with butchering.
 
I didn't post these, do you think all of these are roosters too? Maybe 1 isn't? I have 4 spangled hamburgs. I think the 2 with long tail feathers might be.

Hamburgs are supposed to be hen feathered, so it can be harder to tell male from female. However, all of those birds have male specific saddle feathers.
