    What breed and gender is this little 4 week old

    I am a chick newbie and just started my little flock of 5 hens. I was told they were all female but am wondering about one in particular. Can anyone help me? Except for the first photo all the rest are of "Cheeper." Also wondering if any one can identify the lighter colored one in the first photo.
