Guess the Gender of my 13 chicks if possible

I counted about 4 of them,
might be a little more when I purchased them I asked the owner and she said it’s too early to tell and it all depends on your luck, well I’m hoping it’s not all roosters that she wanted to get rid off

So it was a straight run from the seller? Was this someone who hatched them, or a feed/farm store? Usually you are going to get about 50% males from any hatch. And if it was from a feed store......sometimes the hatchery tosses some of the boys from their sexed pens into the straight run pens. So you get a lot more males than 50%.
 
Agreed, I see only three at this point, but they are a big young looking. Better pics, individually, in a couple of weeks would be helpful. Also, if they are still so wild, start offering meal worms by hand. Get them used to you. You're going to have a heck of a time with care later if you don't get them used to you. Thing is, be respectful of the cockerels. They need to respect you as a human, so don't get too cuddly with them.
