Well I thought these little hopefully gals are barred but they are mostly black. There is one that looks barred though. Im a little confused? They are 3 and a half weeks

Well, black chicks with single combs and yellow feet bottoms tend to be jersey giants, pink feet bottoms tend to be australorps. I see 2 white crested black or either dark blue polish. The barred bird looks more cuckoo to me so might be a cuckoo marans.
 
Likely mixed birds. Very hard to tell the gender until 8 weeks. With most single combed birds, even the mixes, the males will sprout red combs and wattles at 7 weeks. The pullets will not. Their combs stay dull colored and they won't sprout wattles until they are much closer to maturity.

If you start seeing red wattles forming under a beak, you'll know you've got a cockerel.
