In the Brooder

These guys are a "barnyard mix" and are 3 1/2 weeks old. I suspect chicken #1 is a light brahma (and a rooster). Chicken #2 might have some Jersey Giant and has a reddish comb so I'm thinking rooster.
So any guesses? Breed / sex?
Sorry for the red light ones, forgot to turn off the brooder light in the background.

Are they mixed breeds? Or a bunch of different pure breeds? They are a bit young to sex, but anything with pink or prominent combs at their age generally turn out to be males.
 
They are likely mixed breeds since they came from a flock of several different breeds. All were hatched from brown eggs.
Two have feathered feet (#1 and #6) so I thing they have some Brahma. Silkies were also a possibility but no fluffy heads.
Other options are Ameraucana, RI Red, Croad Langshan, Jersey Giant, Polish and Mystic Onyx.
 
These two have reddish combs so I’m thinking roosters. They also do the most fighting and posturing so far (also first two that hatched)
