Shadow is the dark colored one ( barred rock i believe)
Little red is the red colored one ( production red or Rhode Island Red not sure which)
Lucky is the buff colored one ( I believe he/ she is a buff Orpington not sure though)
Knowing breeds would be nice too haha I still new at this :) need to know breeds and genders for sure:)
 
The way I tell my males from females is by looking at the saddle feathers. (Saddle feathers are the feathers right before the tail feathers) The roosters have long narrow pointed feathers while the hens have short and rounded feathers. From looking at your pictures I'd say the barred rock is the only one that looks like it could be a rooster to me.
 
Wat about the way little reds tail is in the last pic and itbhas green feathers around the neck and on the tail
 
They're all roosters.

Okay, just to be sure, I should ask how old they are.

The above post about checking for saddle feathers is only good after they're 12-13 weeks old, that's the younger end of the range to start growing hackle/saddle feathers. I'm thinking these guys are younger, and those combs tell the tale. Plus the lighter color of the barred rock is a male characteristic.
 
I got them on sept 22 this year people on here thought they were two weeks at that time :) but yeah I kinda figured they were all boys :/ great I wanted eggs guess that won't happen
