5 week olds - please help me identify the breed/sex (picture overload and more info on them included

OH NO! How are you all so sure that all the barred ones are cockerels? Is it the combs/comb colour? And why the one have a black head spot, if it is a rooster?

As for the yellow chicks, are you all just going by comb colour/size or is there anything else that catches your eye?

A bit unrelated, but when do people usually put the chicks with the rest of their chickens?

The "autosexing" doesn't work if they're mixed.

Thank you very much for that. This is very disappointing, but nothing much I can do. I would have loved for all of them to be pullets, but I might just have to try another run of eggs. I was really pleased some hatched at all as this was my first go and I was not very precise with temp and humidity!

I will give them a couple more weeks and then I might try one last incubating before the winter comes and hopefully in the spring I will have lots of nice little chickens ready to lay lots of eggs for me.
