Please tell me if you think these Wyandottes are cockerels. The black Star chick is 5 days old. Don't males have a star on their heads?

The chicks in pics 4 and 8 are definitely cockerels. The one in pic 2 might be as well, but I'm not sure on that one. I don't know anything about black stars so I can't help you with him/her.

Thanks for your answer! Someone else verified a week ago that the chicken in picture 2 is a cockerel. His name is Drumstick. He is a very gentle protector of the hens and doesn't pick fights with the other cockerel(s). I can't keep him here in the city. I can sell, trade, or slaughter him. It makes me sad to think that roosters are perpetually given a death sentence in urban areas. He is an excellent leader of the flock, and I hate to see him go.

Chicken #8 is Jujube, one that I suspected was a cockerel. He is constantly stirring up trouble with the ladies and challenging the other cockerel to fights. He definitely needs a new home so he can mind a flock of his own.
