First time having chickens and they’re now about 5 months old. still not sure if some are cockerels.
Some have very large combs which is the main reason I think some might be.
Thoughts?

Large combs early on may indicate this ,but when getting to laying age hens with straight combs have nice big red ones too. From what I see in these photos, they all look female. I cannot see all the feathers on the white ones though.

The white one are mature much slower ( as I understand they should being brahmas)
 
Just here to eco what everyone is saying, pullets. With most of my breeds you can tell a cockerel by about 2 months. Hens will keep a uniform color pattern where cockerels color pattern degrades around the saddle and upper wing/shoulder area. This is the same bird about 2 months and 6 months
