1 - couple breed options, white rock and white leghorn among them - leaning leghorn -- if under 12 weeks, cockerel
2 - easter egger - color/pattern says cockerel, can you get a good comb shot?
3 - black sex link pullet
4 - possibly black australorp, what color are the bottoms of the birds feet -- looks like a pullet, though I'm on the fence about how red the face looks - again, age is a factor
5 - buff orp, pullet
x2 with this.

They are about 7-8 weeks old. Gotta weed out roosters unfortunately!

At 7-8 weeks #1 is definitely a cockerel.
#2 is pinging the ol' roo-dar pretty hard, see the brick red patch on the wingbow, that is characteristc of a cockerel. Doesn't seem to cooperate much for comb shots, when you look at it are you seeing one row of "peas" or three showing?

I take it that is #4's head peeking in there in the background? If so, it does look awfully pink, but there is not a lot of comb/wattle development going on.
agree with Ol Grey Mare & donrae
