The first one is the one that’s confusing us due to saddle feathers and neck feathers however he does have the only red comb and acts like a cockerel
 
How old? Males usually won't start getting pointy male specific feathers before 12 weeks.

The first one and the last one look to have male specific color patterns (can't think of any colors where females have black breast's other than solid black or birchen). The third, fourth and fifth b birds have female specific color patterns. The second bird doesn't have a sexually dimorphic color pattern but the comb and wattles say female.
