Gender guesses anyone?

It is way too early for male specific hackle and saddle feathers to come in. Usually it’s around 12-15 weeks of age where you start to see the pointy feathers in males.
Take a look for yourself at the second picture, the saddle area, and you tell me that's not male specific feathering coming in. Chicks develop at different rates. There is no one size fits all with them.

Exactly, no one size fits all but 6 weeks is very early for any chicken to get male hackle and saddle feathers. That’s why I said from around 12-15 weeks or whatever I said. I see some sort of shine on feathers but those look to be on the wing itself. Either way the game bird of some sort seems to be a cockerel by the pinking of the face.
 
It appears to have male saddle feathers in the second picture, so I'm pretty certain that is a cockerel. It looks like a Shamo or Aseel cross.
It is some kind of shamo cross ☺️ this is the father bird

**UPDATE** they have now hit 11 weeks! I think ive got a pretty good idea of what they are but i would absolutely love some confirmation from the experts 👌😁 let me know if i need some better pics of any of them! Some of them are mixed with big comb and wattle breeds. The naked necks always throw me with how red their faces and skin are!! Some of the shots the sun hit perfectly to make things extremely bright 🥴😂
