So from right to left in the terrible quality video we have
EE- Grey Goose
Lavender orpington- Helena
Lav. Orp- Mr.
Jubalee orp. - Domino
Jubalee orp. - Buttercup
EE- Happy Feet
EE- Marigold
EE- Bunny

Orpingtons were all born April 7 and all EEs were born April 16th. I'm thinking all pullets except Mr., that second orpington. You can see why it's difficult to get pics of the lavenders. This is the closest they've gotten to me on there own without food in my hand but they really don't trust the phone so pics are almost always blurry.
 
I agree with you. Mr. is the only one that looks like a cockerel at this point. But it is still early in the game and it's easier to tell from still photos, side views and comb close-ups. That said, just watch the combs. Any that get bigger and redder in the near future could be cockerels and we're happy to help tell, if need be. They're nice looking chickens-- very happy and healthy!

IMG_20180614_203200312.jpg Lavender Orpington Mister at 9 weeks 5 days so I'm pretty sure he's a he.
IMG_20180614_203006158.jpg Lavender Orpington Helana at 9 weeks 5 days still looking pullet?
IMG_20180614_202902471.jpg Easter Egger Bunny at 8 weeks 4 days starting to worry me with gender

IMG_20180614_202604273.jpg Easter Egger Marigold at 8 weeks 4 days the other one thats starting to worry me. Is that another small row of bumps starting on the right side of her comb?
IMG_20180614_203522656.jpg Bunny's pointy tail and at the top, the best pick I can get of Domino who is another questionable one. Domino is a Jubilee Orpington 9 weeks and 5 days. I'll try to get another pic of her today.

IMG_20180614_203601491.jpg From top to bottom, Domino's butt, Helana's head, Marigold, Bunny. Both Bunny and Marigold have very pointed tails they like to raise and show off at times. I do have some bantam hens that do that too though so I know thats not a defining characteristic. I can definitely see more pointed feather patterns in Marigold in this pic.

I think that last attached file is Domino's head but I wasn't going to include it because I wasn't 100% sure. Pretty sure the other Jubilee Orpington, Buttercup, has more white on her chest though.
