Guess the bird?

This is Hayden, I think it’s a hen...

This is Kevin, I think it’s a rooster, it’s the smallest of my first round of chicks

This is not a good pic, I’ll try again tomorrow, but the one on the left is Charlie, I think it’s a rooster. The one on the right is Alex, I think it’s a hen

These are the 5 newest additions, I have no idea what they are. I just picked a variety of colors and am crossing my fingers there’s a hen or 3 in there!

From what I can see of your pictures, I think you're right. The bottom two of the last picture are male; the one on the left obviously has mahogany shoulders (red wing bars, both gold and silver, etc.) That's male specific colouring. The one on the right has way too much white in his barring for a juvenile female.

I thought Alex might be a male at first, but it is actually shaped just like Hayden.. no real comb or wattles, and a fan-shaped tail with rounded tips. But the white feathers aren’t feminine? Bummer, i was hoping to keep at least two.

From what I can see of the white feathers, it's just leakage, which isn't sex specific. It is a really bad picture, though (no offense intended) so I'll reserve any verdict on sex until I see a better one.

I will get better ones tomorrow, I wasn’t planning to join or post, so I not fully prepared, and they are sleeping now.

The two in the center of the first pic ( I'm guessing Kevin and Charlie again?) are male.

In the first pic of this set, I see two cockerels, probably two pullets. How old are these chickens?

The two on bottom in the third pic are male and the others are hard to see but I think I may see a third red comb popping up on the white/lavender one. Need better pic of these three

Here’s some pics from today. Someone started crowing this morning.

Clockwise from the bottom of the top picture:
Male (patchy colouration, tail growth, comb growth)
Likely a female (no male characteristics I can see)
Male (Tail growth, male colouration)
Almost certainly female. (Again, no visible male characteristics, and that colouring is almost always female.)
