Boy/Girls? Mixed breed - 9 weeks

[ASD Dad]

Hello all. We have 2 each of some mixed breeds we got from a friend who is trying her hand at breeding and hatching chicks. The two darker birds are supposed to end up being Olive Eggers and the two brown/whites are just a mix she wasnt 100% sure on.

They are around 9-10 weeks now and we are curious if you all had a guess on them. We just integrated them into our flock this morning and are doing great out there with our other 11 birds (9 hens and 2 roos). If any of these end up a roo she is happy to take them back, if they're hens we get to keep them.

Thanks for any help!

Picture 1 and 2 is a pullet. The other three are cockerels.

1&2 is same bird, different lighting and I had guessed pullet the way it acts. I thought the other dark bird was a boy just the way it struts around and sort of takes command of the other 3. The two white/browns I was not sure on at all.

I'm still learning all this as it's only been a year since owning any chickens. What makes the two white/browns look cockerel?

The combs, too red and fleshy for pullets at that age. The thick legs. And the darker red patches on the shoulders and wings, that seems to be a common occurrence in mixed breed males, though it doesn’t apply to every bird.
