im new to chickens, what breeds/genders are my birds?

I'm keeping the 1 bird seperated until I know for sure. The new birds were brought this morning. All are roosters, 2 are identical to bird bird (but to me he's prettier lol) the other looks like the 1 red mixed breed only lighter colored. Going to pick a few out for a friend of mine who has too many hens to count but no rooster.

Sounds like a good plan.

This is the bird in question. He/she was scared since I put him/her in a smaller cage for the pictures so he/she was trying to go out of the top of the cage. Its feathers are shaped different than the other birds. These are the best I could get with the bird jumping around.

This bird is definitely a rooster. It looks like a Wyandotte mix, possibly with Araucana.
