hen or rooster?

They all look like hens from what I can see. One has a larger comb and will probably be your first layer, if not already.

Had an egg this morning while i was working in there. Dont know which one layed it though. Im sure there all hens. The guy i got them from was really nice and seemed like a good guy. I just dont know much difference between one or the other.

Maybe this one will post

I'm thinking that they're all hens, though I'm less sure about the bird to the right of the red bird.

I agree; that one looks suspicious to me as well. I'd like to see a good profile pic of it.

She is a hen for sure. Im just being paranoid. She just has a redder comb than the others. They are all really young hens

I'd say only the one to the brown-ish chicken's right is a rooster, the others are hens.

Found this video a few days ago It's pretty good at explaining how to tell them apart

But they all look like hens to me except maybe the one with the shiny curly tail fethers in your first pic

That is an excellent video! It would help a ton of new chicken keepers! Maybe it should be a sticky in "what breed or gender is this"?

Hens for sure.
