Updated pictures now that the little nuggets are 8 weeks old.
Mom is definitely a Black Jersey Giant (I adopted her and her babes). I was told the dad was Americaunas but I never laid eyes on him while at the farm picking them up. I’m not seeing any beards or puffs.
#1 is definitely a cockerel (impressive bright orangey-red comb) and I’m pretty sure #3 is too (had some bright red wattles coming in which were hard to photograph). #6 is definitely a pullet. The others I’m undecided.
Any help would be appreciated. I already have a rooster and will need to find homes for any others and would like to get a head start!

Thank you! Keeping a close eye on these little ones. Hoping that it’s only two cockerels!
 
Just to give a follow up, it did end up being just the two cockerels. At 14 weeks, they’re big boys now. Almost the size of my adult New Hampshire’s and Brahma Bantam roo. Definitely got their momma’s Jersey Giant genes going strong! Simba (the orange one) will be going to live next door with his own flock soon and Tarzan (the black one) will stay since my current, elderly roo seems to love him. Simba even had his first practice crow last week!
The other four are darling little pullets who still enjoy sparring with their brothers and are finding their place in the existing flock.
