The one in the bottom picture, with the most copper, looks like a cockerel, the rest look like pullets.

I think the black are all pullets...you've got a "mossy" back which often lays the darkest eggs. My mossy back matured more quickly that the others, but still was clear it was a pullet compared to the roo...by 6 weeks, BCM roo's typically have substantial red combs.

The orange is male....which may be a Blue Copper Marans

Thanks guys makes me feel better, Since the Black Copper Marans cost a lot of money and the same time I cant keep rooster in our allotment due to noise he will make. I will have to rehome him even though I want to keep him.
 
Well Irving ended up being Isabella after all. After I gave him to my Father in law, And Ellie was in fact Eric(now called Hotwings).
