help me with my chick!! please! gender and breed.

Well the one in the food plate definitely is, the barred one might be. See what you can do about getting some head on shots of their combs. That is how I always tell

Sorry to be annoying, but the sooner I know the sooner I can rehome the roosters :(
 
some hens have large combs as chicks...but any red comb on a young bird almost always means rooster and all of those look pretty red to me except the white one. I feel pretty sure that the barred one and the one in the food dish are definitely boys...The other 2 might just have large combs...how red are their combs? How about wattles? Because having wattles at this age that are red is another good indicator...what are the odds that you end up with all roosters? The white one looks like it might be a pullet as does the spotty orange one sitting with the white ones, but like I said I'm getting definite rooster Vibes from the barred and orange food dish one.
The barred I could be wrong. You would be a better judge than I am. Is the comb rather red, or sort of orange? An orange comb is fine. Peach, fine, pinkish, fine...but reddish means boy. The white one has a large orange comb, so probably a leghorn pullet. The red spotted one I'm thinking is a sex link pullet. The orange one in the dish is most definitely a rooster, big red comb and wattles, and the barred looks to be a rooster with the large (appears to be) red comb and small wattles.

no problem. There is nothing I love more than to stare at study and talk about chickens. You could always let them grow a bit and eat them.
