I have a few chickens that I'm not sure about sex....they are almost six months old now- 8 was told bhrama or cochin mix/barnyard as chicks. The three with light gray necks are cockerels, the three all brown are hens and there's a barred rock mix hen in the pics too. I think the rest are cockerels - help 😬. I have generally stick with barred rocks for the past few years so these fluffier ones are a little more difficult.

.pics 2,3,4 are the same bird- thinking cockerel.

The two brown necked ones I think cockerels as well. The one with darker brown is more aggressive/mounting my hens.
all the birds in question have the iridescent feathering on some tail feathers- I've been told that means most likely male.

Welcome to BYC! The two "brown" birds are your only pullets.

Just for future reference - iridescence does not equal male.
