"Russell Crowe" youngest of the bunch and suspected cockerel.... looks like a maran of some sort
 
Carey Grant and Russell Crowe look to be males. The others currently look like pullets, but also could be late bloomers so only time will tell.
That's my guess too! Both "boys" have alot less feathering then the "females" tail feathers have hardly grown in yet. Carey Grant seems to have that male attitude and stands tall and proud. Dolly partons comb is more prounced then the others... although rita and loretta look like they are going to have pea combs. Everyones combs are pinkish besides madonna. Careys is blackish like his legs

Cary Grant is the only one I'd say is definitely a cockerel at this point.

They're mixed breeds. It may be easier to guess their parentage when they are older.
Here is a better picture of dolly's comb
