Did I guess the gender correctly?

Greetings from Australia

I adopted some week old chicks from my son’s school (they had a project watching chicks hatch). The company that supplied the eggs said their breeds are Isa Browns, White Leghorn, Australorp, Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire.

I’ve taken a photo of the birds today who are about 7 weeks old. I’ve had a punt at the sex. Do you think I got it right? Also any guess on the breed?

Thanks

Tam

I suspect 2 is a Leghorn pullet. There are no wattles to match the comb.

Also, welcome to BYC!
 
2 and 4 are leghorn. They usually have huge combs, they could be girls.
1 is ISA brown. 3 is an australop .
I don’t know about the others, but I don’t think any of them is a Rhode Island Red.

I'm usually hopeless with breeds, but I don't think 1 is a ISA brown.
It looks like a cockerel, so an ISA brown would have more white, as they are sexlinked.
