Hi everyone, would love to know what you think (and why if possible so I can learn). All are 10 weeks old. Thanks very much :)

1. 2. Pullets - feminine bodies and small light pink combs
3. Not sure but lean cockerel because of the large comb
4. Cockerel - large bright red comb, stocky body and legs, starting to get curvy tail feathers
5. Pullet - almost non existent comb, feminine body
6. 7. Cockerels - male barring, males are double barred so appear whiter, bright red combs
 
Thank you very much to everyone who replied! Really appreciate your knowledge, and it seems pretty clear cut. I didn't know about the barring as an indicator on barred rock. I will post photos of light sussex in a couple of weeks as requested. (I really thought the tail on one meant it was a rooster!).
