It's been a long time since I've had chicks so opinion really doesn't count for much here but the 3 Barred Rocks look like cockerels to me. The other two look like pullets so far but not BR. Let's see what others say.

Idk how others sex so easily😂
Those three mostly black ones look way different then the actually barred rock looking ones to me. So idk. So confusing😂
 
For history all I know is they can be a mix of orpington and barred rock hens mixed with a australorp rooster. That's their parents.

the barred ones are males but as to which ones are barred i cant say. as the chicks of the australorp and barred rocks will be sexlinked. The australorp is black right. ii cant say on the orpington chicks though. What color is the orpington hens?

Orpingtons are a blonde reddish color.

You can tell by looking at their combs. The 3 from the barred rock momma have huge red combs for their age so it's kind of a giveaway. 🙂 The 2 buff babies are far less developed in that area making it more difficult to predict gender.
