Help with breeds please

The two blacks are females, the two gold/buffs are males. The pics are fine.

Agreed

Light yellow ones are buff Orpington a, the black ones I believe are Black Australorps

All are mixed breeds.

Thank you all for your help. Looks like 6 of 8 are Roos. Great. That gives me 5 hens and I already have a rooster so keeping any of these roosters would be bad for my hens right?

So maybe 5 of 8 instead of 6 of 8 are Roos. I’m hoping. Thoughts?

Chicks 5 ,6, and 8 are also cockerels.

Yes, for that many pullets you'll only want 1 cockerel. Rule of thumb for most flocks is 10 hens to every rooster.
