Gender help with my 5-week-old Orpingtons

[Carolei]

I have 5 five-week-old Orpingtons and I'd love some help identifying gender. I'm pretty sure Rosie is a boy, but I'd love opinions on all of them.

the first bird is definitely a cockerel.

The rest aren't screaming rooster, but Orpingtons can fool you and not mature until a bit later.

This is a followup from four years later! You were right! The first two were boys and the others girls.
Here is a current picture of Alice with one of her babies -- my new avatar!
