I bought 6 chicks last year from tractor supply and got 5 roosters and a sick hen. This year if got 8 aka 5 hens and 3 roosters and they were PULLETS. But, I am loving my chickens and having fun. here is my old tractor SOLD and new coop.





 
Welcome to BYC. I am suspicious that the white birds in your last picture are Cornish X. If so they may not have good longevity - they are bred for rapid weight gain rather than egg production and long term viability.
 
IF they are Cornish x they are meat birds. They eat almost constantly and grow very fast. They are ready for process for the table every early in life .They generally do not live long enough to produce eggs.
