Hen or roo??? Please help! Time sensitive!

Hen or roo please? Labeled 1-5! These were born June 8, so the are about 2 1/2 months. They all look like hens to me except for #5. I didn’t want to misrepresent them as all hens if they are not! think they are mostly Easter Egger mixes?

4 and 5 are likely cockerels, the rest appear to be pullets, but I would keep an eye on all of their combs.

I honestly think they are all female, minus 5.
4 has a single comb.

#5 is your only cockerel.

the hackles helped me determine the sex of my babies. Roosters will have pointed, thin, and sometimes colorful hackles, but color also depends on breed. Hens will typically have no special colors and their hackle feathers will be rounded at the end and thicker. The roosters hackles tend to seem slicker too.
