Can/Do Hens Crow?

They are definitely all male. I had some 12 week old Roos (rehome them) and they all looked like that at 12 weeks.

Clearly there was an error at some point in the chain of events....either missorted chicks at the hatchery resulting in males being packed as females, mislabeled chicks when put out at tsc, chicks wrongly moved between bins....something, because this is more than one or two hard to "read" vents leading to missexed chicks.

The issue now it's what to do. You'll need/want to get rid of your males. Then you'll need to find a source for new birds. As is layer in the season and to avoid moire potential frustration, getting started birds at an age that gender is apparent might be a good way to go, if you can find them. Alternatively, sex link chocks are a good "no risk" way to go as they are 100% sexable by sight at hatch.
I'm so sorry this was your introduction to chicken keeping

Sorry so many photos, I just can't believe you guys are saying they're all male. I believe you, I just can't believe Tractor Supply could have screwed up so royally. I don't know what to do. I was really hoping for eggs in the fall. And thank you for all your sympathies
