My partner and I need help figuring out the sex and breed of our chickens. I think we have 6 roosters and he thinks 4 possibly 5 roosters advice would be greatly appreciated

Wow thank you. # 6 has black feet. Do have any recommendations on which cockerel is the most docile? They are our pets but the large amount of cockerel are disruptive to the rest of the coop. I appreciate the list of breeds and sex.
 
I found the list of breeds that we are supposed to have.
French Black Cooper Maran
Blue Cooper Maran
Ameraucana (blue?)
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (2)
Wheaten Maran

Thank you everyone 💓 so what should I do with all the cockerel 's? I would love to re-home them if possible . Just keeping 2 docile breeds. Does anyone have any recommendations on which to keep and which to find a loving family for?
 
Not sure where you are located, but... I do know that there are still an active number of chicken people who want cockerels for flocks find them via either Facebook marketplace- where they post in local farming/ag pages putting the said birds 'Up for discussion' and asking anyone interested in PMing them.
There's also the 'Neighborhood' app.
Freevee. Craig's List. (I know, it's still in full use in many places 😆), and there are also Poultry or farming auctions- I haven't used one- but I do know they have them- but- (shrugs) I can't tell you how that'd work, just that they are a thing.
I also know that if a place has a 'pet finder', they might put an add for a cockerel too. Like the local animal shelter. Not sure if your's could or would take them, they might..?
I hope this helps.
