I'd guess girl, boy, girl, boy.

Jakk... Homeschooling mom of four kids, two dogs, three cats, 6 Buff Orpingtons hatched on Christmas Day, 16 Hatchery Choice Pullets, 6 TSC Red Pullets all hatched on 2/22, 8 babes hatched 3/21, 9 babies hatched on May 11th. Sixteen Easter Eggers hatched Sept 1, two White Ameraucana hatched Sept 5th...and trying to resist the urge to fill the incubator!

I would guess your second one (first rooster) is maybe an Araucana.  It has a lot of the same markings as mine, but mine are a bit younger  than your's too.

#2 - not an araucana by any means. Hatcheries advertise easter eggers (EEs) as araucana/ameraucana - any perusing of this forum will educate you as to why they're not. Also NOT a rose comb! That is a single comb if I ever saw one. Also inclined to say not an EE because of this comb.

 

I agree with the girl, boy, girl, boy.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

Yes, pullet, cockerel, pullet, cockerel. I would say you have a Production Red, a Sicilian Buttercup, a Barred Rock, and a White Cochin.
