2,3,4 are cockerels, others pullets. 12 is just a typical d'Uccle The others should have muffs like her, but are more "hatchery-quality"

Agreed!

So they should all have the cheeks!?!? So bummed they don't because i love it! Lol
So 1 is also a pullet? Guess i should move her from the male pen!

The first 4 were in the male pen

I am in no way an expert, but I only see Cockerel for 2, 3 & 4!

Agree, 2, 3 and 4 are the cockerels.
Hatchery quality chickens sometimes have big differences from standard. Like wrong comb, wrong colour and other things. I've seen whiteish Cemanis, Brahmas with very little feathers on the feet and wyandottes with singe combs.
The 12th one has the beard as D'uccles should have, the other ones probably don't have them because in the hatchery they don't choose parents that follow the standard lines. Also the first one, is she a sebright, right? Sebrights should have a rosecomb, she has a single comb. Same thing

Yep! She just has a single comb (instead of the rose comb that Sebrights should have) making it seem more prominent. Actually d'Uccles should have even larger beard and muffs than even your girl with them! Hatcheries just haven't kept up the quality of these traits. Here's an image from the breed club of one at a show
