8 week old chicks- help with breed and sex please

[Chickybea]

Newbie here! I could use some help with figuring out breed and sex of these 8 week old chicks. I got them from a family friend of a friend who said she has a cochin rooster and a lavender orpington rooster. The cochin chicks seem pretty obvious but Thanks for any help in advance!

Looks like most or all are mixed breed. You know the rooster breeds, do you know the hens?

Unfortunately not. I'm content with them being mixed breed, more curiosity than anything else.

4 is giving me cockerel vibes, but I'm still new so it may not mean anything.

2 carries markings that are gender specific. A cockerel would have a black breast. I think, making #2 a pullet.

None of the chicks are showing signs of being cockerels. My guess is all pullets.

In case anyone is wondering, we think 3 is the only cockerel in the bunch! We thought for sure they were all pullets until #3 started crowing this weekend Now I'm noticing what I think are saddle feathers and that the tail feathers definitely are different. Here's an updated pic of #3 Someone please let me know if I'm wrong!

3 is a cockerel for sure. Do you have recent pictures of the others?

You are NOT wrong. Gorgeous black EE cockerel.
