Any guesses on gender?

We got a few lovely chicks on Saturday and I'm curious on if they are boys or girls.  To be fair, 2 of these were from an assorted layers bunch, so I know they are pullets, and although I'm not sure the breed they look just like the 4 straight run barred rocks I got.  Anyway, here they are!

too young to tell... and don't look like barred rock..

The difference between pets and pests is only on which side of the fence they're standing... keep your animals in your own property.

I agree none look like barred rock. 3 & 4 look like Australorp, 2 might be as well... 1, 5 & 6 may be the same breed. Way WAY too young to tell gender on any of them.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

2,3,4 look like silver laced Wyandottes.

Well, shucks!  I'm being too impatient on finding out gender.  Thankfully it's not a huge deal, I just hate waiting!! Oh well.  I also thought the ones that were splotchier didn't really look like barred rocks.  If they not, thankfully it's no big deal!  I'm just happy to have chicks.  I'd love for them to be silver laced wyandottes as that is one breed I really wanted!  Thanks for all your responses!
