These are 10-11 week old Lavender Isabel Cuckoo Orpington ( rooster ) X with Blue Partridge or Red Pyle Brahmas and an Olive Egger x same rooster . Middle one in the first picture appears to be a cockerel . So hard to tell with these breeds . Should I be checking for tail feathers , even lengths hens uneven and possibly curled rooster ? Last 4 photos are the ones I think may be roosters .

By this point, the roosters should get saddle feathers...I see mostly hens though...
 
There is a Plymouth rock in the back, if he is the same age the others would look similar to him if they were cockerels

Did you hatch them yourself? If so, you are extremely lucky...as i see all they hens with 2 that are questionable. But at this point, if the barred rock has no saddle feathers, it’s a female

Yes I did hatch them myself . The Barred Rock is definitely a rooster , I purchased those straight run ended up with 3 hens and 7 roosters , ugh , lol .I sold the hens already , big difference in the barring . He just happened to be in here , lol .
 
You should check their Saddle feathers (Feather on their back) if they are pointed they are male, if rounded they are female. This is true with adult chickens.

Do you have updated pictures of these chicks? I see two cockerels in those photos.
