Hi all! I'm new at chicken keeping and just got some chicks a couple weeks ago. I'd like to introduce them and any feedback on their genders would be greatly appreciated! Im hoping for all hens so I'm dying to find out! Thanks!

This is Gertrude, the Buff Orpington. About 3 weeks old.

This is Helga, the Black Australorp, 3 weeks (she's really shy, hard to get a good picture of)

These are my bantam Cochins. Dorothy is the grey one, Pearl is the yellow/white one. They're about 2 weeks old and still very shy. Pearl won't let me come near her :( I'm wondering if they will ever be tame. Also Dorothy has feathers coming in that are very skinny and frayed looking. Does she look frizzle?

Thanks for any help you can give me!!
 
It is too young to tell the gender. Post more photos when they are 4-8 weeks old, and I'll be able to give a better opinion. So far, though, no bird is obviously a rooster.
 
Thanks! I will definitely post more pictures in a couple weeks. And I try to put my hand near the bantams and they run away. When I pick them up they freak out and try to get away. I feel bad holding them. Should I keep trying to hold them even though they hate it? I don't want them to be more afraid of me :(
