I got 2 chickens I have no idea what they are or their sex. Was told by many people many diffrent things, but what I've narrowed it down to is EE or Silver Laced Wyandotte, which I am leaning more towards EE. Now... the gender.... I have no clue. They are 11-12 weeks old and got them with other chicks at the same time, only have 2 confirmed roos, who crow have MASSIVE combs and look like your typical roo. I'll post a picture of them as well, maybe you can tell me their breed ,because I habe so gosh darn clue. (TSC said Americana, but idk) so I guess just let me know! Thanks

Twix is the white headed one, and Snickers is the black headed one, the bigger roo, is Harry, and the smaller roo is Ron.

they look like the Brahma breed more than EE or silver laced wyandotte, maybe crossed. as for gender, they look like hens to me, but I'm no expert so don't quote me on that. the two roosters I'm not sure of breed. sorry I couldn't be of more help!
 
Agreed, brahama or sussex cross. Looks like hens to me (I'm no expert either) but from the size and colour of the comb i'd say females
 
I believe of they had in Brahma in them, they would have feathered feet. Therefore, are probably Easter Egger Sussex crosses. I hope this helps! Have a great day and God Bless!
 
The first two look like EEs, but I agree, they may be crossed with something. Also, they are both looking like cockerels at that age. The last two look like Welsummers possibly.
 
The two with white, I actually agree with the brahma cross... is there feathering on the feet? But I can tell you, that pullets at 10 weeks wouldn't have that much red. I'm gonna guess cockerel for the two whitish ones.
 
They look like Easter Egger (which is not a real breed) cockerels. I don't see anything to indicate Brahma heritage, clean slated legs are the opposite of yellow feathered legs of a Brahma. Their body shapes are unlike Brahmas as well. Also Silver laced wyandottes would have distinct lacing and a rosecomb. The bird in my Avatar is a SLW. The other roosters look like they could Welsummers.
 
I had and Easter egger cockerel just like the one, Like what the others said if it had any brahma in it he would have feathered legs, And well the brown one could be a mix but I don't think it looks like a welsummer to me.. Cold be maybe a welsummer mix but besides that i got nothing.
