Help with gender identification

[BeginnerCoopMom]

I'm going to preface this with "I don't know what I'm doing and everything I learn is from the internet."

I got a random assortment of chicks (10) from My Pet Chicken, supposed to be all female. They are all about 5 weeks old now, but I'm still not entirely sure what breeds I ended up with, not that it matters too much.

Regardless, I noticed my chicken Dumpling is slightly more dominant than the others, always darts around, and as I type this Dumpling chased off my cat. Compared to the only other chick that looks remotely similar, Dumpling has brighter colored feathers than Donut, and the comb is starting to look more pink than any of the other chicks. Because I don't know the breed (or much of anything) it was hard for me to figure out on my own if Dumpling is a boy or girl.

It's also super hard to take a photo of them, but I did my best.

This looks like a pullet going by beak.

The one with more orange looks like a cockerel.

Looks like Easter Eggers which come in many different colors since they are mutts.

You have a pair. The second picture being the cockerel.

Thanks everyone! I had a feeling Dumpling is a dude, but I wasn't sure.
