Hey everyone I’m having difficulty determining if the two perched are roosters or hens. The bird on the right doesnt look like bird on the ground which is a rooster. Their combs aren’t red and they don’t have big waddles. Also their tail feathers are slightly not as long and archy as the roosters.

Your pictures are not the best in showing what needs to be seen. If you would post individual pix in daylight with clear view like in open run area.:thumbsup
What you describe sounds like they should be hens.
Roosters can be determined by looking at their feathers' tip shapes. Rounded tips generally hens. Sharp sickle tips, generally Roos.

Some questions other posters/responders may want answered.
Breed of chickens
Age of chickens, weeks/months (are they all same age??)
I assume they are still young, since if they were laying, you would not have this question.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and :welcome

Thank you for your response. I will get better pictures for you tomorrow.
So do you mean rounded tail feathers or all feathers over the bird rounded?
Do all roosters get the saddle feathers?
