Name that chicken

I figured the Hamburg was a male. He's a bossy little bugger already and not even 2 months. The barred (not in any of pics) is the only one giving eggs and just recently...like last Saturday. What a performance that was! Quite cool to watch they dynamics. She and the Rose Comb are the oldest at just over 4 months and the others are less than 2 months. My barred that is giving the egg has small comb, whereas the other (in pic) has larger . The one in pic is same age and no eggs so feared she was a he.
 

Is this a male? They are the same age and breed but the one above is giving eggs. Clearly the one below looks different and I'm guessing she's a he. He/She gets on well with all the other roos if so. No scrapping among any of them actually.... I have 9 birds; 3 roos that I know of, 4 if this one is a roo. The others hens. Thx
 
No, that is a Barred Plymouth Rock hen on the bottom. A rooster would be lighter colored and have long, shinny neck feathers (hackles) and a longer, curved tail.
 
I am having a hard time figuring out if my chickens are male or female and what breed. New to this...clearly. But I find some pullets look like cockerels because of the breed. I have nine and and kinda freaking out because its kinda looking like I could have five cockerels and only four hens!! What breeds and gender please? Thx.
Silver Duckwing Old English Game bantam pullet.
Lakenvelder pullet.
Rose Comb Light Brown Leghorn pullet
Barred Rock pullet

Both of these birds are pullets. Males would be lighter.
 
Finally getting some eggs but haven't figured out who is giving me the tiny purple brown ones out of this bunch. The rose comb gives white ones, Plymouth insanely huge brown but who for the recent. Duckwing?
