Please help.

]We purchased 5 buff orps and they are now 7 weeks old. We noticed that they seem to fight a lot and looking at pics we believe 3 are roosters. We are new to chickens and aren't sure how to tell if they are and what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on getting pics up me.

Orps can be tricky to sex. Pictures would help a lot. There are a lot of factors that we look at to determine gender. For pictures, it is best is the bird is on it's feet (not holding it) and a side view helps. Also a close up of the comb.


Here is an 8 week old splash Orp cockerel:
