Ok so I think I have more chickens that are or might be roosters I can't tell. ANY suggestions? One of the white ones is getting really long tail feathers and the other white one only has small tail feathers.the Rhode island red one has long tail feathers and longer neck feathers than the others but she is aggressive towards the others at time. The two yellow (buff rocks) have small tail feathers and are the quietest out of all five of them. I looked up what the roosters look like of each type of chicken I have but none look like the ones in the pictures online. Can anyone tell me if they're roosters or hens?

Take some more photos of the ones you're doubtful about, and make sure to get closeups of head, combs, and wattles, as well as neck and back and wing. Then go post on the Chicken Breeds forum under "What breed or gender is this?" Make sure you mention exactly how old, and what breed they are.

Some real experts hang around that forum and you'll get immediate, accurate evaluations.
 
I would say you have one rooster(buff orpington with a huge comb and wattles) , the rest seem to be hens. I am not a complete expert, though;)

So sorry, I posted multiple answers, I am not sure how to delete now. And you have a Buff, but not Orpington, just noticed, they look quite a bit the same.
