I am guessing that the one on the far left could be a cockerel and the lighter one next to it could be a pullet. How old are they?

Nice looking birds. I'm pretty sure that you have a cockerel and a pullet. The cockerel candidate has sickle feathers starting to drape at the base of his tail, and the hackle feathers on his neck look a little pointy, in contrast to the more rounded hackle feathers on your potential pullet.

with WLLady, on the fuzzy cheeked ones. I didn't really take a look at the other two because I thought you were only interested in opinions on the fuzzy faced ones, but now that I've taken another look specifically at the other two, I think they look "pullet-y". too.
