Any guesses to gender/breed? PICS

How many hens do you have? Do you have a rooster? You could keep all of the cockerels, I wouldn't if I were you though ( I would sell them and make room for some more hens!). I had 7 cockerels I was growing out until they were 15 weeks. They scuffled a bit, but nothing major. If my rooster saw the fight happening he would break it up. It also depends if you let them free range or not. Free ranging lets them have their own space if they want it and they can get away from bossy hens. Young cockerels are often the main targets for bullying for the hens

Currently I have for sure 8 females. 4 hens that are about a little over a year and 4 pullets that we just got. I then have 13 assorted straight runs. Out of those guys 3-4 are for sure leaning towards cockerels. I am definitely keeping Frances my EE (guessing) even if cockerel because I am too attached..... and if the cuckoo marans named Dora is indeed a cockerel I will have to keep him too because that is my daughters but we will see. Temperament has a lot to do with weather we do or not. Hopefully I will be able to find homes for the cockerels I cannot keep.... let us just hope the remaining 9-10 are pullets lol but doubtful.... I know I never should have gotten that many straight runs but you live and learn.
Thanks for the advice

Oh I forgot to mention on the Bantams. All of them have 4 toes. I thought Faverolles had 5 toes and bearded? Thanks again for all the info.

All of your banties appear to have beards/muffs. The ones that look like Faverolles to me don't seem to be showing the vulture hocks that your D'Uccles are. Hatchery birds are renown for not necessarily being good representations of their breed and I've even gotten mixed breeds from a hatchery (OEGBs with crests). Lots of folks have posted pics of hatchery Silkies with only 4 toes or Wyandottes with single combs. But, that is definitely appears to be salmon Faverolle coloration coming in on your chicks.
