I think that the silver laced cochin is a rooster and that the rest are hens. I've had RIR's with very large combs for hens. You should take a full body picture so that we can see their tail feathers. 

I have 18 chickens, one kitten, 3 dogs, 2 hermit crabs, and live on 20 acres in the country. I am CrAzY about chickens and plan on getting more! I am continually working to better my chicken practices and to better my flocks.
