I'd say that you have at least 1 little fella (on the left in top photo). A profile pic would help, so we can see signs of wattle development though.

I'm really new at this you want a front or side photo and what is wattle
 
Side photo - close up on the head. Wattles are the lobes that grow under the beak area - in cockerels they generally grow faster so if you can see the beginning of red growth under the beak, thats usually a good sign that its a cockerel (combined with advanced comb development).
 
Thanks for the photos. Maybe they are a little too young for the wattles to have begun developing. Bottom pic I'd say cockerel though. I'm sure others will be along to offer more insight.
 
Agrees the bottom pic looks male in stance and comb size.
At 5-6 weeks the comb/wattles size/color will tell the tale on any males.
