Those hens are Light Brown Leghorn. Here is picture of my male Light Brown Leghorn for comparison.
Hens. That is female specific coloring, no bird with that color/pattern will be male.
You're right, I always forget about henny feathered breedsException: if the bird has hen-feathering (like in Sebrights). That gene causes a male to grow feathers the shape and color that a female would grow. Sebrights seem to be the most common pure breed with hen feathering, but the trait does exist in some other breeds and in some mixed-breed chickens too.
I do think OP's chickens are females, not hen-feathered males, but it is not quite true to say that "NO bird with that color/pattern will be male."
