Hi, I have 4 cross breed chicks that came from a silver laced cochin bantam hen and a speckled sussex rooster. They were all hatched together, and are the same age, almost 3 months old/around 10 weeks. I know they might be too young to guess their genders, but I'm beginning to be desperately anxious and just couldn't wait any longer!!!

ok, thanks so much!!! I might post more pics of the chicks in 1 or 2 more weeks, so maybe it might be more clear to guess, but 4 now here's the first chick again at a slightly different angle...

 
Any more guesses??

Wish I had seen this post back when you first posted. A silver hen (Silver Laced Cochin) crossed with a red-base color rooster (Speckled Sussex) will produce red sexlink chicks. Males would be mostly black and white, females would be mostly red and black.
Looks like that is exactly what happened, your chicks that were black/white turned out male, your red/black chicks turned out female. Now you know for future breedings how to sex that particular crosses chicks.
