I know this is question may be a bit worn out but I could really use the help.
I have for chicks around 6-7weeks old. I'm not sure of the breed or whether they actually hens. The farm I purchased them from guaranteed sexing and I can exchange the birds if they aren't female. I've grown pretty attached to these little things thus far so I'd rather not exchange them if they are possibly female. Help?

The first 1 is a boy, the others look female but it may take a few more weeks to know for sure
 
I'm not sure on the breed of them but the first one definitely looks like a boy. The third kind of looks like a boy but could be a girl and the others look like girls.

I agree, but I've never had a crested bird so don't pay attention to that assessment :)

As for breeds, I'm going to take shot and guess that 1 is a possible Blue Cochin, if it has feathered feet (I can't really tell from the picture), I have no idea what 2 is (White plymouth rock? White something else? Sorry I can't be more helpful), and 3 kind of looks like a brabanter, just in terms of crest shape (do they have a V comb?), probably mixed with something to get the 5th toe. Number 4 looks like an Ancona to me, with the white tipped black feathers.

I'm really interested in hearing what others think, as well as seeing more pictures as they age- super cute chicks!
 
First one is definitely a cockerel and possibly the third one.
My guesses are:
1. A blue splash maran
2. Either a sapphire or an EE (chick has green legs)
3. Legbar or legbar cross with polish
4. Jersey giant or Australorp??
Just my personal guesses beautiful chicks though!!!
