I'm no expert but that one nearest the wire looks like a rooster, going off it's feathers.
they look like Light Sussex, I have one of them. (hen)

I have 11 of them 5 white ones and 4 6 brown ones!! Just not sure about my white ones!!! I’m pretty sure all the brown ones I have are hens I’m just hoping I don’t have 5 roosters lol

Welcome! Can’t tell by the photos of most of them because can not tell feathering. In general roosters have longer neck, saddle, and tail feathers. They also have larger and darker combs, wattles, and feet. The one by the fence is suspicious for male because can see longer feathering over neck and back. Telltale sign of course is crowing usually between 2-4 months but can take up to 6 months.

Ok yes we know. At least One of them are starting to crow lol but it doesn’t happen when we are close to see who it is lol we have 11 all together I could always post pictures later today in the comments of them

Welcome to BYC!
You should post pictures of each bird you are questioning. The light sussex on the board is for sure a cockerel. Long pointed saddle feathers. The other two may also be cockerels. More pix please!
