I suck at sexing

Both have to be the buff there is no other possible hen, they have beards and the same buff backs and shoulders the duccle had
They don’t have beards. If you’re absolutely sure the d’uccle is the mother, she must have actually been a d’uccle mix or a mixed color d’uccle to produce those colors in her chicks.

Also, the darker cockerel is blue, so at least one of his parents must have been blue or splash.

The blues mother was blue mottled ik for a fact. I had a different post asking about their color and mother, no one was able to help. The duccle hardly had a beard and she was from welp hatchery, I don't have pics of her but she was almost totally white with the same buff but mottled (it also never showed in pictures but it was 100% buff and not yellowing of silver) on her shoulders, neck, and wings. They have more of a beard than any of my cochins, grown or chicks. Also I mixed up their hatch date it was on August 5th not April
 
They’re all cockerels, 100%
Agreed.

New pics showed way better angles!

Here are the splotches of color you mentioned earlier, that are male specific.

Maybe your d’uccle didn’t have a beard either? Because I don’t see a beard on any of your cockerels. The coloration you’re describing sounds like gold neck. Gold neck is buff columbian with dominant white and mottling. However, dominant white is a totally different kind of white than the kind your cockerels show. Dominant white erases black patterning. Your cockerels are silver, which doesn’t erase black patterning.
 
Yes they were in all of the pics
They were not in the original pics of this bird.

Unless those are two different birds of course.

New pics with new angles also showed saddles more clearly. Likely because the initial pics were maybe a few weeks ago?
