Need help determining specific OEGB breed and gender, please

Our chicks are now about 2.5 months old.  Some are starting to chest bump a lot and fly at the others, but I know that hens can do that as well.  None are crowing.  We aren't allowed to keep more than 3 hens and we can't keep any roosters, so we need to determine this as soon as possible.  All should be some type of OEGB.  Any help is appreciated!  The pics aren't great because they were running all around.

 

DH thinks this one is a Silver Duckwing rooster, but I was thinking a hen.  It chest bumps the most and flies at all of the others. 

700

 

This one seems to have the most rooster-like build (taller and longer legs):

700

 

This one is the smallest of the group:

700

 

This one is large, but fairly low to the ground versus tall:

 

700

 

This one looks a lot like the one above, but it's slightly smaller:

700

 

 

These are the 4 larger ones (just for a different view...the one in the middle of the three is the one with the most rooster like build):

700

Thats strange. He acts like a rooster and has the coloring but no pointy feathers yet. Yup  LOL   I tried taking pics of chicks running around. Kinda hard.  At least yours are clear!!! Those are cool looking birds.

There are some kind of game cross.

That could be.  DH brought them home from a chicken farmer that he knows when they were a week old.  The hen that came with them is an OEGB Red Pyle, so we kinda assumed they were OEGB types as well.

1st is a a roo, and it's not a silver duckwing.  This is what a silver duckwing looks like. (RIP Jazzy boy )
