Hi all! I have lots of chicks and chickens but only a couple of them that I don’t know the gender or breed. Please help :)
This girl is 8.5 weeks old. I have no clue what breed she is! She was suppose to be a Silver Hamburg but she’s not white! She was white as a chick (shown below) but turned out to be black with golden spots any ideas to what she could be?

This is my polish, very beautiful but he/she is straight run and I’m not sure what gender he/she is. Any ideas on wether it’s a hen or a Roo? He/she is 7.5 weeks old

This is my Mufasa, he is a white Brahma. He is 10.5 weeks old. He hasn’t crowed yet and he is very relaxed and doesn’t really stand up to the other Roo that I have. Do you guys think he is a Roo? The Buff Brahma shown below is a girl and she’s almost as red as him. I hope he’s a boy!

This is my turkey! She/he is 7.5 weeks old. Very outgoing and likes to be around us when we are out at the coops. Any ideas if he/she is a girl or a boy??

Thank you all for any feedback you give me! anything is appreciated!
 
All are pullets, Including your light brahma. I don't see any signs of cockerel, And your turkey is a hen. The only one I can't tell whether it's a male or not is hamburg, He or she is much too young to sex, I would wait until it's 7 weeks old to sex.

My Hamburg(??) is a hen for sure but I wasn’t sure if she is a Hamburg or not. I purchased her from the feed store as a Hamburg but she doesn’t look like one. She is 8.5 weeks old

Oh silly me~ I didn't realize the chick pic and the top one were the same chickens, Definitely pullets then.

When will he start to show more signs of being a Roo? Like crowing or attempting to mate with my hens. I have a jersey giant boy who is the same age as my Brahma and he is already crowing and trying to hop on my girls
How old is it? Your light brahma doesn't look like a cockerel at all, Just looks like a pullet that's getting close to laying..
 
10.5 weeks they said
It look like the Brahma has a couple of sickle feathers growing, and the comb and wattles are smaller than the pullet shown, which is why I was thinking cockerel. I could be wrong, I suppose. I don't know for sure about the rest
 
your turkey is a hen.
One of the signs of a female turkey that has dark colored feathers on the breast is that the breast feathers have a light colored lower edge. I do not see any light colored lower edges on those breast feathers which indicates it is not a hen. But I don't see any evidence that those are the mature feathers which is a requirement to be able to determine sex by the breast feathers. It is my opinion that the turkey in question is just now starting to lose its head feathers and not mature enough to determine sex by baldness vs mohawk.

It is too young to be able to tell its sex from a picture.
