What breed then?

I agree... A couple of cockerels, and I think I see production reds, maybe a brahma, couple other possibilities...
To be honest, they're generally about 4 weeks too young to reliably sex, except for any early cockerels. That being said, you have the ones that are obvious to us at this point as cockerels, and there could be more hiding and waiting to be known.
I only have like 3-4 chicks that are 4 weeks and the rest are a mix between 2.5 weeks - 3.5 weeks but it’s seeing to me that the 4 weeks are starting to develop that comb but not 100% sure, hope I can get maybe 5-6 hens and 3-4 roosters but we’ll see! I’ll try to post more later in the day, it was 6 in the morning when I took the pictures when I went to feed them.

Gill?
 
I just noticed that you updated your original post with new pics... that doesn't actually notify anybody that there's pics... FYI.
I agree, the second pic is a cockerel. As to breed... I'd get those individual shots, in better lighting, of them standing naturally. It helps to see the feathers that are coming in. Reply to this thread and we can see them.
Also, it is still early for most of them. Usually its best to wait until their about 8 weeks to determine sex, unless you have an early cockerel like that one.

Also by looking at chick 1 vs chick 2 is there a comb difference? They both look about the same age and have a way different comb, chick 1 is calmer than the other 2 and chick 1 is lighter, feet size.... about the same but chick 1 is a little smaller. I’m thinking chick one is a female, by your looks does it seem like one?

At this age, I'm not going to hang my hat on male or female for the first or third ones. The second is starting to get red, which is why I agree he's a cockerel. He's an early cockerel, since cockerels don't normally start getting red until their around 5-6 weeks
