I got 12 chicks from TSC 7 or 8 weeks ago, and there's a couple I'm not sure the breed and gender of. The first two chicks in the pictures, the white/black/grey ones I was told were Easter eggers. To me they look more like dark brahmas, especially the one with feathered feet. They were also supposed to be pullets, but I'm not sure about the one without feathered legs. In the third picture its the two white/buff chicks I'm uncertain of. Those ones were labeled as straight run and also as Ameraucana, not Easter eggers. I'm not sure if they're pullets or cockerels, or even Ameracaunas. Any help would be appreciated.

All pullets. Looks like you have a dark Brahma, what could be a silver penciled rock, and some Easter eggers. Do you have a picture of the 2nd pullet’s comb? If she has a single comb, she’s a rock, if not she’s another breed.

The pullet in the second picture does not have a single comb. I believe she has a pea comb.
 
Gotta say it's super cool that your brahma and EE pullet are both penciled. Super pretty girls!

And it's mentioned above, but you have Easter Eggers (EE)- Ameraucanas have specific criteria for the breed. Many of us on this site love EEs- you get blue/green eggs and no two look exactly alike, and they're middle-of-the-road chickens. Easy to keep, not too feisty but don't get picked on- friendly, but not under foot. They're a great mutt!
 
I posted on some of the other threads maybe you can help me identify these polish crested male or female
