are they all the same age?

1,2,3 and 7 aresame age. Around y weeks im guessing. Maybe 5. 4,5,6,8 and 9 are the same age. Around 11-13 weeks.

1,2,3,7 are about 6 weeks and 4,5,6,8,9 are about 13 weeks maybe 14

I think what you have are second generation sex links. Unfortunately, sex linkage is a one time thing, so in the second generation you basically have mixed breed birds. They pullets will still be wonderful layers, you just can't sex them by color like you could the parents. Good news is, your birds are well old enough to sex.
