I've got 5 chicks April 16th, I know 2 are roos and now Im thinking they might all be. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Oh, I was told they were leghorns by the lovely members here on BYC!

They look like hens to me. But I'm no chickspert, so who knows...

Thank you! I am concerned because their tail feathers have started to round, like my 2 I was told were roos. But their combs and wattles are barely anything.

Thank you! That's just what I was wanting to hear! Um, 7 weeks I believe. I need to get a picture of chick #5 and see what ya'll think but the little booger is fast and never stands still!

I have leghorns, those look like ladies.

leghorns get huge combs early, only start worrying if they turn bright red before laying age.

I would say most def. girls if there leghorns and they are 7 weeks the boys all turn very red very young do you have pictures of the ones that you believe were boys?

Yes I do, and a picture of the final chick:

The "girls" look nothing like the "boys" but the girls combs are starting to get larger and a little pinker, plus the tail feathers are starting to round. They were "free" chicks from Ace Hardware when you bought a 50lb bag of chick starter and I was told they are almost always boys so I was so afraid I'd end up with all roos. Thanks!

The one in that back is a girl, the other 2 red guys are boys for sure if there the same age? Top Picture is a little girl too.
