Chick behavior indication of gender

[Money Pit Zoo]

I have 11 chicks, some 5 weeks old and some 3 weeks old. Most of them are pretty chill rarely getting into squabbles. About 4 of them, however, seem to do more chasing, chest bumping, and pecking, usually amongst themselves, but sometimes terrorizing the other chicks. It’s not age - a couple are the older ones, a couple are younger. So are these rambunctious ones my cockerels?

Behaviors don’t necessarily indicate gender.

X2. I had 2 super sassy pullets. Who did chest bumps and ran around after each other all the time. They still do sometimes.
