Can you please help gender my chicks? Im becoming scared we will end up with some Roos. We wanted all girls. I have a few other chicks but these are the ones who are starting to concern me with gender. Please let me know if you need more pictures. Today they were like children, and didn't really want their picture taken

My guess is the 2 top one and 2 middle ones are Roos and the bottom one is pullet. Did you buy these sexed or straight run?
 
I bought them as sexed pullets

Here is another one, if you would look too

 
the barred rocks are cockerels the white ones look like white leghorns and look like cockerels but they could be pullets, the last 2 are red sex link pullets and the single d'uccle chick is also a porcelain cockerel

so you have 4-5 cockerels i would contact who ever you got these from about their gender

Another cockrel. I would deffinitly contact who sold these to you and either get a refund or replacements. Most hatcheries will refund anything past the 10% error thats usually allowed.
 
I bought them at TSC

and they no longer are having chick days. So now what do I do? I obviously can't keep 5 roos. Do I order from a hatchery asap so I can get then introduced to the two hens I ended up with?

That stinks. I believe TSC has a disclaimer and sell straight run unless they are sex links. I would try to sell them on Craigs list then either buy off craigslist or put an order in online (unless you have a closer one you can drive to) .
 
I know I'm late but you could look into caponizing them. If you can't find them a new home, find someone to neuter the cockerels. They sell DIY caponizing kits, the testes are on the inside. I say the earlier they are caponized, they shouldn't show aggression and/or crow since the male hormones are gone.
