Both cockerels, maybe a Delaware and not sure on the other. Not a leghorn. Can you get a side pic? Also if all these birds are the same age I'd say you have mostly cockerels.
 
All of my birds are the same age out of 16 chicks I’m pretty sure 12 or more are cockerels. Not very happy about this.
That's never a happy time. :hit It seems that no matter how many you hatch/buy as pullet babies, there always seems to be cockerels. In my case usually about 50% or more cockerels. They can be so darn pretty, and it is hard to decide to keep one or who to keep, I got 15 cockerels out of 32 this summer (I hatched). all but one are now in the freezer. 5 were EE's. I kept one. the youngest of the hatchlings. he is blue with a few little barred feathers. sire is my barred rock, dam is Blue/gold EE. In the past I have purchased from the farm store from the pullet bins, and still had cockerels in the group. I did get a few more girls than boys though. :celebrateWe just keep trying for those girls. and we just have to deal with getting the boys.:(
 
First pic: looks like a Deleware, probably a RIR, and the barred one looks like a Black Sex Link to me. All cockerels.
Second pic: looks like the BSL, BR, Deleware, a EE, and a Silver Spangled Hamburg. The BR is a pullet, can't see the comb much on the Deleware. Rest are cockerels.
