Are these cockerels?

I'm seeing a light dot on every head in those photos. If the father has no barring, then the chicks must be males.

Are those all the chicks you hatched, or are there some females in the group as well?

If you are only finding "male" chicks, maybe post a photo of the rooster and we'll see if he's got barring that anyone else can spot.
From these hens there were some without spots. I'm sure these ones are males. I was just hoping. Thanks.

In that case, yes I'm fairly sure you have sexlinks.

I'm selling these to a friend as "straight run", but feel bad if I know some are males.
Straight run usually means they have not been sorted by sex. So if your friend buys every chick from this hatch, or all the ones from those parents, they would still be straight run, because you have not done any sorting.

If your friend buys just some, but you let the friend do the choosing and the friend does not know how to tell the sex, that would also be straight run.

Do you know if the friend would like males or is really hoping for just females? You could sell them as sexed chicks, with more expensive females and cheaper males, and provide the right number of each.

Or you could tell your friend hat you can tell males from females, and the chicks they get do include some of each, but the price is the same as for actual straight run (unsorted) chicks. Being assured of actual even male/female numbers, or off by only one or two, would probably be fine with most people who would otherwise buy straight run chicks.
