x2 on this.To me, those chicks look more like Barred Plymouth Rock chicks, though I'm not completely sure, as they should all have head spots if that was the case. If they are Barred Rocks, it's too young to determine gender. You'll have to wait until they are 6-8 weeks old to begin guessing.
Another possiblity is that they are Black Sex-Links. This could explain why some have head spots and some don't. The males have the head spots, and the females are all black.
Where did you get the eggs? If they were just from a hobby breeder or backyard farmer, it is entirely possible that they are mixes.
I'm in NZ, not sure if this link will work but this is where I got them: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=813188546
