These are our first chickens ever and I’m really curious as to what we’ve got!

My suspicions are # 2, 3 & 5 may all be cockerels. 5 is definitely the largest and play fights with 3. 3 is curious and always wants to be first.

I would love input! I find the comb growth and how quickly it showed on 1 confusing. It’s not really gotten reddish and it’s by far the smallest with smallest legs. Number 4 I was suspecting hen just because it doesn’t care what’s going on.

What do you all think?

3 Is an olive egger, the rest look like real Ameracauna, not Ee.
Pea combs redden early so I have a hard time sexing them, 5 might be a pullet. You'll have to wait a few weeks yet.
You might want to set some money aside for a new coop, prefabs are notorious for being too small, unventilated and shabby.
 
Okay, getting a little older! I am thinking 3 & 5 are cockerels and 4 a hen. I have no idea for 1 & 2. Any input appreciated!!

Any ideas when looking at # 1, what breed/mix? My kids named it Happy Feet bc of the tiny bit of feathers on the leg and as a baby chick it looked kind of like a penguin lol. I have been read so much on pea combs that it’s thrown me off. I really appreciate the input from all of you who are so much more experienced!!!!

I think she may be a Black Copper Maran!
