The two first ones had evil eyes so I'm guessing roosters. The others look less evil so I'm guessing hens. I'm probably wrong.

I'm guessing all but the Polish are Roos, though number 3 is a maybe. The red/pink color of the combs, as well as showing wattles at that age, are pretty good indicators.

White Cochin -cockerel
Blue - also cockerel but you knew that
Light Brahma -pullet
Mille Fleur -pullet
Porcelain -cockerel
Polish - cockerel

I am curious why all the others are saying that Polish is a pullet. I have some that same age and I would definitely say that this one here is a boy with that crest. If it were a girl it would be spread more and lots puffier even at this age.
