they’re about 8 weeks old. We were virtually guaranteed 15 females all rainbow egg layers. Hatchery sent us only 10, and I’m starting to think none of them will let blue or green eggs at all. One (not pictured) is confirmed cockerel. 2 others I’m unsure of. Unsure of 4 breeds. The silkies/frizzle/Polish we got separately.

6. thinking pullet on the left cockerel on the right? Maybe too soon to tell since they’re 6 weeks?

Cockerel, cockerel, pullet, cockerel, pullet, possibly two cockerels, possible pullet, one pullet, one cockerel.

Can't say for sure on the polish & Silkie, except the Silkie on the right is definitely a cockerel.
#3 and 5 could be welsummers.

You think #4 cockerel because the red comb? It’s not actually that color the sun hit it weird for the picture.
#3 and #5 are two different breeds it’s hard to tell here i know but when they were day olds #3 looked almost identical to #2 except for very slight variation in color and markings that only I could see compared to my family.
 
1. Sussex cockerel
2. Welsummer or Leghorn cockerel?
3/5. Welsummer or Leghorn pullet?
4. Maybe Plymouth Rock, can you get some more photos? Where did you get them? Possibly a cockerel

Silkies look like either left will be a pullet or both are cockerel :'( we can tell better when they're older!

I think the polish may be a pullet, more pictures and with time it should be more clear : D

Frizzle cochins, left is pullet, right is cockerel : )
 
1. Speckled sussex roo
2. Unsure of breed, roo
3. Brown Leghorn pullet
4. White rock? Pullet
5. Brown Leghorn pullet
6. Silkies, unsure of gender
7. Polish, unsure of gender
8. Frizzles, pullet and cockeral

Those are my best guesses, anyway.
 
1. Speckled Sussex cockerel
2. Welsummer or Brown Leghorn cockerel
3. Brown Leghorn pullet
4. Possible white rock
5. Brown Leghorn pullet (I agree you should post another pic of it)
6. Silkie on right is definitely a cockerel and the one on the left might be a girl.
7. Not sure about polish wait a couple weeks
8. Frizzle on right is a cockerel.
