I wanted to be 100% sure on these. If I am right about the Barred Rock looks like I hatched out 4 males out of 5.

How old are the Barred Rocks? The first two look like little roosters if you only look at the comb, but their wattles aren't really developing and their tails don't look very rooster-y yet. The second pic is definitely a pullet.

The Ameracauna is a girl. However; "The American Poultry Association recognizes a bird called the Ameraucana, which lays colored eggs and has muffs and a beard, not ear tufts, and comes in standardized color varieties." That would mean she is not a true Ameracauna. She is rumpless (or at least appears to be) but feathersite also says "These rumpless (tail-less) and ear-tufted birds" so that would mean she is really an Easter Egger....albeit a pretty one.

The Red Sex-link is a little cockerel.

The last picture looks like a Cochin x. I would say it is a cockerel as well.
 
Based on color and combs the 1st 2 BRs are boys
The 2nd BR is a girl.
The ameraucanas are both girls.
The RSL is a boy.
White one is a boy and black one is a boy.
