Is this one bird, is each photo different?

IF each photo is different, even I, a relative newbie, can tell that #4 is a Rooster and probably #6.

Yes they are different birds

Okay - the reason why I think #4 and #6 are roosters are because of the neck feathers -- Roosters have these thin, sharper feathers down their neck compared to a hen.

From google:

"Hens will have shorter, more rounded feathers than roosters. Their hackle feathers won't be pointed, and they will lack the long saddle feathers and tail feathers that are characteristic of roosters."
