Beautiful chicks. It actually looks like the last two are mottled as well, so you may want to hold onto them until you know for sure. The last maybe-mottled chick and the second silver chick both look to be pullets so far.

Are you talking about the photos posted today?
I see 6 pictures of cockerels, and the 7th photo is a pullet.

OP apparently thinks so too:
I sold all the pullets but one already

Ah. That makes sense. Ignore my sexing guesses then.
Though I am still thinking that you have a couple more mottled chicks. It will be interesting to see them grow up.
 
Well the males lost most of their motting and the blue laced lost his completely so that was a bummer I do wanna see if he gets any mottling back

Nice! They’re beautiful.
Did both red chicks turn out to be hens?
