I have 12 chicks at the moment from 3 breeds: Orpington, Swedish Flower Hens, and Blue Copper Marans. Can you guys help confirm chick sexes at the moment? The Orpingtons are about 5 weeks old and the rest are about 4 weeks old.

I think the chicks in photos 2, 9, 10, and 11 are cockerels.
Maybe cockerels in 6, 8, 12 (I'm not sure either way on those three).
The others look like pullets to me at this time, but there's still a chance they could be cockerels that mature slower that the others.
 
Thank you I suspected those 4 and I appreciate your opinion. I am still relatively new to this so it's always good to hear someone else's thoughts. I'm really hoping that 12 is not a cockerel. I suppose only time will tell.
