My husband picked up these and the brown ones are supposed to be brown leghorn pullets (17 weeks) and the other I’m not sure (it is 11 weeks). Can anyone help me one of the leghorns seems like a cockerel but doesn’t have the right coloring?

2 Australorp? (I have two of these)
3 EE
4 EE
5 EE
6 EE
7 Buff Orpington (I have two of these)
8 OE (I have two of these)
9 Barred Rock x2
