I think at least 1 and 5 are cockerels. Probably as other have said.

My son hatched these from our flock !

Lucky! All my hatches, even with broodies, tend to skew towards male. It's not the worst, cause I raise chickens for meat too, but I don't feel as much urgency to decide every chicken's fate when there isn't a soon-to-be-crowing-non-stop time bomb in my grow out pen.
