Oh thats brilliantThe ones with smooth feathers aren't silkies, they're satins. It's breed that is bred to be exactly like silkies except the fluffy feathers. It's not uncommon that silkies and satins are kept and bred together because the only difference is feather type.
By the way Norman and Babs look like pullets. I can't tell with the rest, sorry. You're gonna have to wait until more experts come in.
Could you post comb pictures of everyone?

You have been so helpfulThat is exactly what I meant by comb. The only one that looks like it could be a cockerel is Buff. The rest look like pullets right now. Post updated pictures in a couple weeks.
