Can you tell what breed a chick is when they are mixed? Unknown rooster

Last, but not least, is my 3 1/2 year olds favorite. This one started out black and grey has now became almost all black but has feathers with brown streaks on its chest. Really hope this one is a hen.

I picked up a mixed group of straight run chicks that are now 2 wks old. Is it possible to identify the breeds if I know what type of hens they came from but not the rooster? Will the roosters breed being unknown throw off any chance of identification?

I think I have been able to identify the majority of the chicks but these 2 definitely have me second guessing. The hen selection for the group was RIR, Buff Orpington, Blk Sex Link, Red Sex Link, Barred Rock, Australorp, & Wyandotte (unknown if laced).

Its obvious they are not buff orps, RIR's or red links. Are they possibly a blk sex link. The grey on them is throwing me off.

I’m no expert (at all) but I recently got a couple black sex link chicks and both have feet the exact color of yours; mostly glossy black with fleshy colored tips of toes. I wouldn’t rule out they could at least be part black sex link.
