When I bought these, Runnings had them in a bin that said pullets. However a friend has said 3 are roosters. I am hoping for more people to confirm they are either pullets or rooster. There are 6 different chickens. If there needs to be different/more pictures please tell me and I will get them! I truly appreciate this.

Chicken #1






Chicken #2





Chicken #3




Chicken #4




Chicken #5 (the black one)



Chicken #6


 
The 3rd and 5th ones look like roos, but other than that they look like all pullets. Also I could be wrong with the 5th one, as single combs aren't my specialty.
 
I only see one cockerel in there; #3.
Your friend must have been mistaken, 1, 2, 4,5,6 should start laying soon.

Add: Easy way to tell if they are pullets/cockerels at this age is their tail feathers. Roosters have sickle feathers and pullets have no shiny tall curved tail feathers. They're dull. Also the comb and wattles give it away, pullets sometimes have yellow faces, while roo's have red faces.
