How many roosters?

[mnemenz24]

We recently started raising backyard free range chickens, so I am not positive if these are roosters or not. In total we have 34 chickens and I think I may have quite a few roosters. My first question is which of these are roosters, and secondly how many roosters is too many for my flock. We live on almost 4 acres, so they have plenty of room as well. Thank you!

1,3,4,5 are almost certainly boys.

A lot....a lot of roosters in there. More roosters than hens.

One rooster for a flock of 15-20 is suffuciant. Circled are the cockerels.
