I have ten 6 week old chicks I'd like help with. This is the first time I have hatched eggs from my own flock. Possible mixes come from the following:
3 different roosters: Easter egger, and 2 icelandic/wyandotte.
Hen breeds: Ameraucana (from feed store so probably actually Easter eggers) red sex link, black sex link, welsummer, rhode island white, and austra white (white leghorn/australorp)
Sorry for some poor quality pictures. Will repost updated pics in a few weeks....
Would love some help determining gender as well as possible breed mixes. Thanks!

I didn't want to believe #5 is a cockerel but I was really starting to think so....my two favorites, the two white ones, are cockerels. Sad:(
 
#8 is developing tiny wattles and a pink comb. Any thoughts on that? I maybe see some darker red in the wing too.

Darker Red on wing usually means boy. I was going to ask about 4 and 9s wing feathers. Combs don't look rooish yet but tough to tell with mixes sometimes. As Jed said it's a bit early to really guess yet. Post updates!
 
There are two that I am still not sure about. #8 and #9 from original post. They are now almost 8 weeks old. What do you think....

First four pictures are of#8
