too son to tell. Also can only see little bits and pieces of them. You need clear closeups of individual chicks showing head and combs(if any) and of them standing sideways to check legs, hackle feathers, etc. Also mention age at time hotos are taken. Cute batch of chicks you have.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. You're EE chicks are too young to sex accurately from a photo. You should post their pics again in about 4-5 weeks on our What Breed or Gender is This? section at https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this. Their gender should be pretty obvious by then. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting pullets.
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

X3 They are far to young to sex yet. Let them grow up several weeks and then post pics in our What Breed and Gender section. Michael has left you with the link.

Enjoy your babies and welcome to our flock!

Okay I think I have 2 males in the bunch 5 of them are really skittish and try to run away from me then 1 of them just stands and looks at my finger but dosent back down then the other one I'm positive is a male dosent back down and bobs his head at my fin gers and starts pecking at me not only that he's a bully when he eats food

We're glad to have you.

Temperament isn't a great indicator of whether you have a male or female. I've had fiesty, skittish females and tame, sweet males (and vice-versa). You'll have a better idea on gender when they feather in and are 6-8 weeks old.
