I am new to keeping chickens, and i have raised straight run chicks since they were a day old. Now they are twelve weeks! Can you help me confirm my sex and breeds?

Australorps? Both pullets? (Crossing fingers!)

Here's my buff orpington. Cockerel, right?

Buff brahma I think is a cockerel. He's so unfeathered compared to my other one.

Here are my light brahmas, what do you think? The one in the first two pics is the one I think is a cockerel:

Please let me know if better pictures are needed. Thanks so much!
 
I agree with you, except I believe the Brahma is a pullet. On the Australorps, check the footpad. If it's pinkish-white, then it's an Australorp. If it's yellow, then it's Black Jersey Giant. They're most likely an Australorps, as that breed is much more common. It's even a little redundant to look, but I always like to do it as a routine check.

Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate the australorp/jersey giant distinction and knowing that I might have 5/10 pullets!
