D'uccle genders? (Picture Heavy now XD)

I have had D'uccles for a while and from what I can tell so far is the first three may be roos of your first set of pictures and the last one looks like a pullet. Hope i'm wrong and you get more hens! The white one if all the same age could be a hen but her comb seems so big lol She doesn't look red though at all. I think another week and you will be able to tell. Post new pics again if you can.
I relooked at the white and it looks henish to me from the side. I love guessing these

Wewt! Update; there has been no change in White while Black, Red, and Green are getting muuuch bigger and redder waddles (chin ones too)- White also seems to be the meakest of them all. Red is White's best friend and seems to make sure they aren't alone at all times. So I might just have two pullets here

White and Clear - question is though. I can only keep one Roo. Black is definitely not it. He's not only nasty and initiates fights all the time but he almost completely lacks a beard and he has that strange black hood. Don't think I can use him for breeding.

However, Red and Green are both very sweet.

Green is incredibly calm and the most people-oriented. He is the first one to approach people and eye them curiously. Green is also the roo with the biggest beard. He is also very fond of the two standard-sized easter egger pullets - the other boys seem scared of them.

Red seems to be the guardian. He is the one who gives the warning call when a hawk flies overhead. He's noisy as heck though. Chirps all-the-time and I don't want to piss neighbors off /too/ much. But he also sings the prettiest little songs and seems completely smitten with one of the pullets who seems smitten right back. They wont go anywhere without each other.

Basically, should I go with the most people-oriented or the most guarding one?

Edit: will add more pictures once there's a change in appearance
