Did he sell me all his roos as "hens" warning pic heavy

HI Again! I made a mistake in my previous message (SO SORRY!!!! TOO MUCH RED WINE!!!!)---I meant to say DORKING--NOT Andalusian--WHOOPS!! I had just been replying to something about Andalusians on another post and this SILLY OLD BIRD GOT IT WRONG. It's DORKINGS THAT HAVE 5 TOES--Andalusians have 4 !! IT's way past my bed-time here in the UK and I think I'd better totter off to bed before I make more of a fool of myself---------GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!!!
 
The only one that looks like it could be a roo to me is 4, but I'm not familier with that type of breed and the body type. You should hear it crowing soon if it's a boy, with all those hens around. If not, then maybe you have a layer after all. All my hens now have large combs and wattle like that, and are laying very well at 8 to 9 months old.

Looks like you have some nice healthy hens. Be sure to get them on layer pellets and they should start laying this Spring after they get settled in. Good luck to you!

4 is definitely a roo, hard to tell on 5, but sorta looks like roo...i think your fine on all the rest and those "laced" hens look my "penciled" to me

#4 has finally started to crow lol, it's a pitiful crow. He is still the sweetest roo, wants to cuddle.

As if I don't have enough roos. I have batchelor pads coming out of my ears. I am letting his one little girlfriend stay with him for company. Still waiting on the little ones to see what they do. have one that has layed me 2 eggs, no shell. Separated everyone to see who is and is not laying.
 
The chcken on number 5 looks like a black austrolorp but im not a hundred percent sure about that. if they are older than 5 months old I would say that the chicken is a hen, but since the comb is that big and they are just supposed to be pullets its probably a roo.
My black austrolorp hens are now starting to get some combs that look kind of like that and they are 5 months.
