Here is what the majority look like in terms of comb, color, and waddles, they are also a little larger( all are 7 weeks )

However, I have two a little smaller, with this type of head gear. Are these hens?

Generally speaking, the chicks that have combs growing taller and color in their combs and wattles are cockerels.

90% sure that's a hen. Some roos will develop later but it's uncommon.
Sexing is not 100% accurate so a few of your packing peanuts may end
up being hens, and from the pics, they are.

I have 15 Australorp peanuts that are 9 weeks old. A few look to be hens
and one is a Bantam Cochin. What's messed up is these peanuts are
some of the coolest birds I've owned. Thay just EAST SO MUCH!!!!
 
You are correct. The first picture is a little roo, and the last two are pullets.

Also incase you weren't sure on breeds those are Light Brahma's. Good luck. Probably the best (or one of the best) breed!
