I got my first chickens ever in June 01. and I’m very worried they are all roosters 😢
I love them so much and it would break my heart if I have to give them away 😔
I can have pullets where I live but no rooster.
So, what do you think? Do I have pullets or roosters?

Gosh, what a bummer. I agree they are cockerels. Their combs and wattles are too large and red for 8 weeks old pullets. I'm so sorry.
Thank you! I’m really sad about it, because they are so sweet and I love them…😔
Someone made a comment and wrote “stew pot special” This is not funny to me at all 😔

For most people...it is had to find decent homes for male chickens. No one was/is trying to be ugly.
 
I bought them from a feed store.
The feed store either buys the cheaper all male chicks from the hatchery or they buy straight run...and experienced chicken person bought up the female chicks quickly.

My particular feed store workers are idiots when it comes to chicks. They tell me they buy females only. They lie. I've seen the labeled boxes from the hatchery myself...clearly labeled straight run.

I highly recommend ordering females directly from Ideal Poultry for your next set of birds.
They will hatch out on a Wednesday and be at your local post office early Thursday morning for you to pick up.

So they are all about 8 weeks old? All males
