So I bought 7 chicks from a local country store. And they were all supposed to be hens but I think I see one cockerel
Any thoughts on which other ones might be roosters or if the others are all hens which I think they are, but I could also be wrong since it’s my first time raising chicks.

I believe that too! Some mixed opinions on what they are! I’ve got that there’s only 1 pullet and all are roos!
Rose combs pink early. The major indicator with them is growth. Pink and same size as not pink is pullet. Pink and much larger, with wattles doing the same thing, is cockerel.
 
I agree with rural mouse. Another thing is their feather patterns. Males have much patchier coloring, and they usually have white shoulder patches. Females have nice even lacing, like yours do :)
