These guys were from a bantam mix bin. Some were day olds and some were a bit older when we got them. I'd love your opinions on who may be boys or girls if you can tell at this age.
# 1 Closer to 7 week old what I believe is a silver sebright or silver sebright mix aka Toast. Has a much smaller and not red comb compared to the known male (who is showing a very red comb). Female?

#2 Closer to 6 week old gold sebright(?) aka Juice. Also has small comb compared to known boys. Female?

#3 Closer to 6 week old sebright #3 aka Crouton. Completely flat comb, no red. But gets picked on the most.

#4 Unknown breed closer to 7 weeks #5. No comb development so far. Female?

I'll post the next couple in another post.

Thank you so much!!
 
#5 Unknown breed about 6 weeks aka Chipmunk. No comb development, but very independent a d doesn't hold still... Female?

#6 Porcelain d'uccle about 6 weeks aka Teacup. Not very much comb development compared to the two definite roos but not as feathered as some of the others.

#7 Porcelain Duccle about 6 weeks aka Saucer. Not very much comb development compared to roos, a little more feathering than #6 but still not as much as some others.

#8 Porcelain Duccle about 6 weeks aka Sprinkles. Not very much comb development compared to roos, more feathering than other two porcelains.

Am I extremely lucky in just getting two roos? Or could there be some late bloomers?

Again thank you all so much for your input!!

I think you are extremely lucky! Looks like just the two that you’ve already figured out are cockerels . Can’t help much with the unknown breeds, but the ones that you’ve pointed out appear to be accurate.😊
 
Welcome!
I think #4 is an Old English Game bantam pullet, and so is #5, although the photos aren't as clear. My best guess.
Some hatcheries combine muffed birds (d'Uccles) and unbearded (similar, but different breed name) together. And the birds with cute muffs go through phases where their muffs are growing out, and not apparent.

Thank you!!! I was kind of wondering about that... one of them is starting to grow a bit of a beard but the others are pretty clean. I figured they weren't the most well bred chicks. Though I love the muffs!!
