These guys are 4 weeks old. I got them from TSC. Pullets..5 and 4 straight run. I'd like to get your thoughts on sex and breed.

No idea on gender but here’s my guess on breeds (also post updated pictures in a few weeks it will probably be easier to tell then for bother gender and breed)

Picture 4 is a welsummer
Pictures 3 the white one is a light Brahma and the brown one is a Campine
Pictures 1 and 2 both look like mixes

Also could you try and get individual pictures
 
Breed guesses for the two on the board in the third photo: Light Brahama (feathered feet, lots of white feathers, some black) and Easter Egger (shades of brown and black, with gold around the neck.)

In the second photo, does that chick have brown and white feathers?
Or is it all white, with mud on the feathers?
If the feathers are naturally all white, it might be a White Rock or a White Leghorn.
If the colored parts are actual colored feathers, I'm not sure.

Picture 4 is a welsummer
I see 5 photos, with the 4th picture having a chick in shades of brown, with a pea comb.
Welsummers never have pea combs.
So if you and I are seeing the same "picture 4," I disagree about the breed.
He looks to me like either a Dark Cornish or an Easter Egger.

I'm not sure about the other chicks. They could be Easter Eggers (which can have any appearance), or they might be some kind of new hybrids the hatchery is producing, or they might be pure breeds that I just don't recognize right now.
 
The white one is all white.
So white feathers, yellow feet, and a single comb.

I think White Rock is most likely, based on the body shape. If so, it will grow up to have red earlobes and lay brown eggs.

But it could be White Leghorn. A Leghorn would grow up to have a slender body shape and white earlobes, and lay white eggs.

I'm pretty sure it is the wrong shape to be Cornish Cross. They are very wide and meaty, and that gets even more obvious as they grow older. By 4-8 weeks, there is no mistaking a Cornish Cross for anything else. I'm sure it is not one of them.
