Help me identify my babies! Pic heavy... Gender AND breed help.

1 is a roo and has a Buttercup comb. Sicilian Buttercup?

2 could be a boy or girl...I'm really not sure...come sort of Cochin or Brahma?

3 is a Buff Rock pullet.

4 is some sort of game....I'm also thinking pullet.

5-7 are Red Sexlinks.

8 looks like a Rock or Wynadotte...looks like the start of partridge?

9 is a Rhode Island Red pullet.

***Extra looks like a Black Australorp. Pullet?
 
OK, I did some research with everyone's suggestions, I still have some questions, but so far I think that:
Cheetah is in fact a Roo and is a "buttercup".... (may have been my special chick because McMurray has them in the rarest of rare assortment..."
AND Honey is definitely a Buff Rock...

Any more guesses on the other ones? This is so fun, I just love doing this research. Thanks everyone.

By the way, How many Roos can I safely have in a flock of 28? I may have to post that elsewhere, but thought I get 2 "birds" with one stone... LOL

OK, so based on guesses and research here is what I have so far....

Chicken #1 Buttercup.. roo

Chicken #2 Partridge Cochin... probably a roo
Chicken #3 Buff Rock
Chicken #4 Still no idea...
Chicken #5-7 Golden Comets/Red sexlinks? Don't really know the diff....
Chicken #8 Still unsure, maybe the brown leghorn?
Chicken #9 RIR or New Hampshire Red, what's the diff?
Extra credit - I think these are Jersey Giants, they have black legs and yellow under feet...

How do you think we did?

#2 is a partridge Cochin roo. It's a roo because the hens have more of a lacing effect on their feathers and the roos have the greenish tint to their feathers in the sunlight. I have 2 and they are beautiful. Mine are skiddish too.

Okay here I go:
1) A definite roo! I have no idea on breed but he looks partridge colored..?
2) Partridge cochin roo?
3) Buff Orpington pullet.
4) Silver Phoenix pullet.
5- 7) Red star (sex link) pullets.
8) Golden Phoenix roo.
9) Rhode Island red pullet. (Australorp or Black sex link hen in background)
There's my 2 cents!
