First time chicken mom here...please help with breeds and gender!

[Dvalland]

So I just hatched my first group of chickens early April and am having so much fun with them. I have 3 silkies that are 7 weeks (supposed to be but one has regular feathers) and 3 others that are 6 weeks (one olive egger, one frizzled something, and a black copper maran). It’s looking like I may have quite a few roosters Any guesses??

The whole gang

#1 Frizzle...breed?? Pulle

#2 Olive Egger.. breed?? I’m thinking Roo

#3 BCM..I

#4 supposed to be Silkie

#5 silkie..it’s way smaller but not sure it’s a hen

#6 silkie...thinking rooster

Can I ask how you know with #1? I was at least hoping that was a hen I’m still trying to learn what to look for.

Oops I meant to put 1 in the ?? category 1 seems like a girl but I would keep an eye on it

The black one in pic 1 looks like a Cockerel to me and the red one in front on pic 1 looks suspect too.

1- Leaning cockerel (unsure)*
2- Cockerel
3- Cockerel
4- Looks to be a satin silkie. Silkies are *usually* hard to sex until about 16 weeks.
5- Leaning cockerel (unsure)*
6- Bad angle, can't tell. Wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

*(Unsure)'s repost in 2 weeks
------------------------------------------------
*usually* Some can't be sexed until they lay or crow, and some can be sexed at 8 weeks, depending on quality.
------------------------------------------------
The silkies you should repost at 10 weeks.

Thank you! Here is a better picture of #6. His comb is definitely different compared to the other 2 silkies.

I'd say cockerel, but repost at 10 weeks for the silkies

It would be my luck that I would hatch 6 roosters my first try
