I have 3 chicks that are around 11wks old, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with breed/gender of them.

Chick number 1
This chick's name is Tilly, and we are thinking that she is a girl. She was sold to us as a Coronation Sussex egg (we bought fertilised eggs), but that is incorrect and I was wondering what breed you guys think she is

Chick number 2:
This chick is Elvis. Not sure of it's gender. It was sold to us as a Wyandotte egg

Chick number 3:
We are thinking about naming her Peggy. Just wondering about the breed of this one. It was sold to us as a Buff Orpington egg.

I feel like it would be good to mention that I am based in Australia - we might have some different breeds to America

Thank you so much for your help!!

1 & 3 are pullets and 2 is a cockerel
 
All are mixes. The seller likely had those breeds of hens running with different rooster breeds. The Orp may be pure. The first looks like a Sussex mix. The second one looks like a Brahma/Wyandotte mix.

The second one is your only cockerel.

In the OP's other thread @TheOddOneOut said that the the buff chick had yellow skin, therefore is probably not a buff orpington. (Below is the quote)
Yes, I'm sure.
That Wyandotte, if it's actually pure (which it's not), is a Blue Laced White, not a Silver Laced Wyandotte. It has feathers on its legs, so it cannot be purebred.
The final one is a mixed breed as well.
The Lavender Orpington is just a guess, since I cannot make out comb type or skin color. Better pics would definitely help. But whatever it is, it isn't a Coronation sussex.

And the final chick IS buff, but it has yellow skin, so I doubt it's an Orpington.
 
The buff chick did appear to have yellow skin in the last thread. Shove off, Moony.
The first chick is a mutt, the second chick is a mutt cockerel, and the third appears to be a buff orp pullet.

You seem to be slipping often anymore.
I'd better stick around to help out.
