Curious breed and gender

[Annmarie4099]

Hi! New to the chicken/rooster world.
I recently acquired this little guys from a teacher friend who had them hatch in her class and with the schools closing she brought them home with her. They are 3 weeks old. There are 5 of them.
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify them and if possible be able to tell if chicken or hen. Thanks!!!

All look to be cockerels, not sure about breed

They're still a little too young to tell their sex for sure yet, but it does look like you might have a couple of cockerels in there. Can you post more pictures in a few weeks?

I think I see two white cockerels, one red maybe, two pullets (white, and black/white).
But that's just a guess, because it's so easy to be wrong when they're this young.

Breed guesses:
The red one could be a Rhode Island Red or a New Hampshire; if female, it could also be some kind of sexlink.

At this age, the white ones could be White Plymouth Rocks, White Leghorns, or any other breed with white feathers, a single comb, and yellow legs (unless some have not-yellow legs; but all the legs I noticed in the pictures were yellow.)

There are plenty of other breeds that can be red, or can be white--I just listed a few of the most common ones, because they ARE common.

I feel like I should know what the black & white one is, but I can't think of it right now. Maybe someone else can figure it out.

thank you for the input!! This is all new to me but I love to research so this helps immensely.

Yes I will for sure! Thank you!

I'm going to guess they are mixed breeds. I see a few cockerels in there, maybe one or two pullets.

i thought AT LEAST 3 cockerels IMO and no expert. awfully red combs for that age so....the one grayish one looks like a pullet tho...
