I am 99% the barred rocks are cockerels which we bought from a straight run so we knew there was a chance. However the other two we were told were Ameraucana but we were told they were pullets. Looking for thoughts?
All chicks are 6 weeks old

First 2 pictures are of one of my ameraucanas who I’m wondering is a cockerel
Second two is the other Ameraucana I wonder is a cockerel as well. These two birds were listed as sexed pullets at the feed store.

Third set of two pictures is of the first barred rock I believe to be cockerel
Fourth set of two pictureis the other barred rock these were listed as straight run so I knew there was a possibility

Finally the fifth and sixth set of two picture are of my two Rhode Island Reds. This were also sold a straight run so I am trying to determine if I wasn’t completely unlocks to end up with 4/10 birds being cockerel or if I could mixing up my ameracauna and Rhode Island reds. In which case yes 40% of my flock are cockerels 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi, pictures are needed in order to help!
 
The Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks are cockerels. Your Ameraucanas are at the most Easter Eggers and look more Legbar-derived. The redder of the two might be a Cinnamon Queen which would lay brown eggs :)
So are the first four pictures my ameraucanas or the Rhode Island reds
 
The bottom two are Easter Eggers (commonly incorrectly called Ameraucanas). Those do appear to be pullets so far. The top RIRs & BRs do appear to be cockerrls.
 
The last picture doesn't look like a RR there's patterns on the wing. Or I could be wrong it's been 30 years since I had them.
