Hi all you beautiful chicken keepers!

I posted pics a month ago of 3 of these chicks, but couldn't figure out breed/sex. Now they & their flock mates are 7 weeks old and I'm hoping for help. (Apologies for less than perfect pics.)

Chicks 1,3&5 came from chick day at a local feed store, 2,4&6 came from a local chicken chick who got them from a hatchery & fostered for a week before selling.

Here's what I think:
#1 black something, pullet (lightly feathered, slate gray shafts/feet)
#2 EE, pullet
#3 blue something, pullet (lightly feathered, slate gray shafts/feet)
#4 Amberlink, pullet
#5 blue something, pullet (lightly feathered, slate gray shafts/feet)
#6 PBR, pullet

What do you think? I can try for better pics on request.

These are my guesses

1- Black Langshan- Pullet

2- Need more pictures for breed- Pullet

3- Blue Langshan- Pullet

4- Unsure on breed- Pullet

5- Blue Langshan-

6- Sorry to say but it looks like you have a Barred Rock cockerel. Hope you can keep even if it’s a boy.
Thank you so much for your response! And hunh! This is our first flock and I'd never even heard of a Langshan. They are gorgeous adult birds! Now that I've read about them I'm hoping you're right. :love

I'll take more pictures tomorrow.
 
Oh look, I took more pics yesterday! (I swear I have more pics of these chickens than I do of my grandkids)

We were told this one is an Amber Link, but I don't find much at all about that cross.

Esther Blue has a pea comb, muffs, a little beard starting & green legs/feet.

Here's another pic of Sunny & I'm back to thinking pullet. What do you think?
And here's #1, Star, at 2.5 weeks and then now. Maybe it's just the right time for combs & wattles and I don't need to worry she's a he?
