Are these all Hens?

[BriannaBanana]

Just spent some money on these hopefully girls. The silver ones are the ones I am questioning. Any feedback is appreciated

Can't see the third bird well enough, but the two in the foreground in the second picture look like cockerels to me.

That stinks. Spent some good money on what was advertised as laying hens.

Better pictures of the individual ones you're asking about would be better but the 2 silver ones in the 2nd photo appear to have male saddle feathers.

I agree. They are definitely cockerels from what I can see. They have very nicely developed combs and wattles and pointy hackle and saddle feathers.

Thanks for your input. I thought so too when we finally got them out of the car and observed them up close. Its ok I just don't appreciate them being advertised as hens.

I hope you can return them and get your money back. The seller probably knew they were getting rid of cockerels.

The slw in the back I need a clearer photo of. But the 2 in the front of the photos are some beautiful roosters. Sorry that the seller lied.

They are. I'm positive the one in the back is also a male since he also has the long pointy saddle feathers. Its ok since they are younger and our older Roo doesn't seem to have a problem with them so hopefully they will grow to get along.

How many hens do you have? Once they get older the roosters will fight to the death unless you have 60+ hens for these 4 and that older roo. I learned that the hard way.
