Him or Her

How about these, I'm pretty sure some of these are cockrels. They are 11 weeks old Rhode Island red, white leghorn, maybe a barred rock mix.

I’ve bought red sex link cockerels that had hen colors. The RIR in the 3rd picture is a girl and so is the white one and the RIR in the back closest to the wall.
 
I did some experimental breeding several years ago and I had some males with female coloring too. I agree with the others. The Reds are males. Good luck and have fun...
 
If your juveniles are 'pure breeds' (not sex-links or other mixed-breeds) for which the sexes have different color patterns, it might be possible to tell by color, otherwise you can guess. In a group hatched at the same time, pick up the bird and compare it to its siblings. Look at how pointy are its saddle feathers, how big a spur-bump it has, how thick and long are its shanks, and compare its comb & wattle development, compared to its siblings.
 
These all look like pullets to me. Now you're going to have to tell us in another month how many eggs you get a day from these birds. I'm going to check back, so don't forget us!
