Chicken gender. Please help!

[Brandy0280]

Hi, I'm new here and to raising chickens. I thought for sure I could easily tell a Rooster from a hen, but apparently I cannot. Can someone please help me? I have 15 total and I believe I have at least 5 roosters

Hi, without pictures it's not possible to id your birds. Try taking close up, individual photos of them and posting on this forum: What Breed Or Gender is This? Hopefully you don't have as many boys as it seems right now. In the meantime, maybe this article will help: tips-for-successfully-sexing-your-chicks.72033

I'm not seeing male specific saddle feathers on any of your birds. How old are they? The ones you think are roosters may just be pullets that are approaching point of lay. Cockerels (young roosters) will get red, enlarged, combs and wattles early, usually by eight weeks, while pullets combs and wattles grow and turn red just before they start to lay eggs, about 20 weeks on average but can be earlier or later.

Agreed.
Have you heard any crowing? What makes you think you have cockerels?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. All birds pictured look like pullets to me.
