Pullet or cockerel?

Good morning! I recently started my own little flock. I wish I had done better about which breeds I got but I only remember a few. It's always fun to think you'll remember something and then realize that you don't! At any rate I do know that I have two Rhode Island reds, two amerucanas, to cream leghorns and two Easter eggers. I can't remember for the life of me what the other two are (🤦😆) . But they are yellow with black spots. As of today they are about 5 weeks old. They were supposedly sexed, but it looks like I have three or four cockerels (out of 10 🥴). With the attached pictures, is there any possible way that someone could help me confirm or squash my suspicions? I apologize in advance, these wiggling little things are hard to photograph. 🤣 Thank you so much in advance. 😊

They were repeats. It appears I was right and have 3. How soon should I rehome two? I plan on keeping one.

I would put up a Craigslist ad right away. It may take you some time to find a good home for them. Alternatively, you could fix a bachelor pen for them, and decide who to keep once they are older.
At around 15 to 19 weeks, they will began bother the pullets. It can be pretty violent with more than one cockerel.
