I do not even try to guess at that age. Usually if they have the pea comb the males start showing like a three row comb early.

Thank you , Martha. I'll try to keep this post updated as they get older.
Do you think any of them could be a buff mix?
Not exactly true--Brahmas have pea combs and lay brown/tinted eggs. .Pea comb still and always will be associated with blue eggs.

OP--since you have such a mix, it's going to be hard to sort out who is possibly who at least until they're fully feathered. I can tell you any dark chick with a white/cream spot on the head will be a male, from the barred rock hen. Other than that, you're just going to have to piece things together by comb, leg color, beard/muffs.
Okay, I took another picture of them today. I'll try to get some more individual pictures later.
I'm pretty sure that Cheeky is a boy *sad face* his legs are much thicker than the other chick's. He's alsnfeathering out at a much slower rate.
Lemon is still very very small. Guess I just need to work on my patience!
