Number 2 is a cockerel. Not sure about the rest.

They all look like girls to me...

Both Silkies look like roosters. The other two, hens.

See, I thought they were all girls accept #1 because they all have some weird thing about nesting and are all squawkey when I try to hold them. #1 just steals the other's worms and makes sad attempts at crowing. It sounds kind of like a dying cat...

ETA: Im sot sure if you can see, but poppycock's (# 1) saddle feathers are much longer than honeybee's (#2)

All of them seem like pullets to me

Never base the gender off of behavior, other than the crowing thing that #1 does (if it is infact crowing). I'm basing my answer on stature and the size of the comb/wattles, especially since they're 12 weeks.

Poppycocks waddles are bigger than honey's, but his/her comb is bigger.

I agree, both of the silkies have streamers in their crests.
