What breed(s) on the little black and white chick?

Also, can you get a photo of the chick, from above, as it is looking forward, at it's folded wings across the back?

i hatched him form a barnyard mix, the lady said most will be Olive Eggers. This chick came from a mint green egg and has muffs. I have an above pic and I will try to get a side view tonight. Thanks for taking a look!

Would y'all be so kind as to help me out with the sex of these little cuties. I got them as straight run and I'm afraid they are all roos.
they are 5wks old.

Not 100% sure, but I'd say 1 & 2 are probably cockerels. 3 & 4 look like pullets.

Quote: I don't really know anything about feather sexing, but have heard that only particular breeds, carrying the proper genes, bred in the right way, can be feather sexed. My understanding is that it does not work for most breeds. Others who know more can correct me. They're awfully cute chicks.

these pictures don't do there color justice. 4 is black and white. I know that is usually a cockerel trait and 3's comb is looking a little pinkish along with 1&2's.

There are plenty of black and white EE pulllets, so don't give up hope. I'm looking less at the color and more at the pattern which is very evenly spread on 4. Compare to 1, which has large patches of white on the wings. I can't see the combs very well on 3 and 4, though they look narrower than the first two.

I was hoping that i would get at least 2 pullets. I can't have roos so they will either become dinner or find another home.
