The second and fourth are cockerels. I suspect the silkie may be as well but silkies are hard to sex.
 
I agree with #2 and #4 as cockerels. Not sure about the other two.
 
Blue looks to be a pullet at this point. Barnie and Aussie are cockerels. I think it is too young to tell with Candy; especially since young Silkies are notoriously hard to sex, even with experienced chicken owners. I would suggest re-posting Candy (and Blue's) pics again in about 3-4 weeks. By then their gender should be much more obvious.
 
Hey guys I have a question. Blue and Aussie (pic 1&4) have been fighting flaring up thier hackle feathers! Candy and Barny have done joined in at time but only once or twice. The fighting usually happens when they are out free ranging. Does this mean I have all Roos

No. Even hens will fight like that to establish dominance.
