Breed & sex at 6-7 weeks (getting to know my new chickens!)

[Chicky5]

Hi! I’m a new chicken owner, having bought 5 chicks at a feed store a few weeks ago. My kids and I chose randomly, and I was told they were all 2-3 weeks old at the time, making them 6-7 weeks old now. They love being in the yard during the day free-ranging, and have already learned their coop/run is home (although I still bring them into their brooder box in the laundry room at night). We were told we’d chosen 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Americana (which I’ve read is an Easter Egger). The other two, based on online pic comparison, might be a frizzle cochin and a polish cochin? But I’d be happy to hear people’s opinions on breed and sex of our little flock. There’s a chance we can’t keep cockerels, so I’d like to know as soon as possible which ones might be. Thank you!

I think I see a Frizzle Cochin, a Buff Orpington, and maybe a silkie?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. To me it looks like a frizzled Cochin, a production red/RIR, silky, Easter Egger, and buff orpington.
