What are these?

Actually, I think that's the same bird that's beak-to-the-sky in the second photo and in front in the third. That 4th photo threw me because it doesn't look like the same bird but I think it's just bad lighting.

Males can have it too, but not unless they have deep black marks in the wings, tail, and neck with eventual deep red shoulders and back. Basically they have "sections" of color instead of patterning or penciling throughout the main body and tail.



ETA - I think you already know but you do have a cockerel on the far right first photo and background left fourth..
 
It is a combo of bad lighting and a not so good camera on my phone. It is the same bird in all the pictures everyone is talking about. There is only one with a dark head. One is all white with some light brown spots above the eyes and on the chest, 2 with tan/ reddish heads, and the dark headed one. So, are you sure the dark headed one is a male, because the wife will not be very happy about that? She really does not want me to get any roosters no matter how many times I try to talk her into it, that is why my profile name is no roosters.

I guess she can't be too angry about a accidental rooster purchase. Can she?
 
I'm looking at the body and seeing a patterned back and rosy chest. The comb is a bit pink but they're also 10ish weeks and some do get a little pink by then.

EE pullet combs at 8 weeks (I double-checked the photo date!) The first started laying at 24 weeks, second was 30:
