Identifying 5 ish weekers

[Cheep Date]

I’m totally new here and totally new to the chick game! I’d really appreciate help identifying some of these gals. Or guys. I have suspicions on some genders for sure but breed would be my main question. We ordered from Hoover’s and it was a variety pack of 10 brown and white egg layers, but they’ve removed the specific list of what we might have.

1-I believe is a Red Sex Link. 2-Barred Rock I think, but what's the color of the bottom of its feet? 3-Golden Laced Wyandotte. 4-Buff Orpington. 5-I'm not sure. 6-Australorp or Jersey Giant, what's the color of the bottom of its feet? 7-Sapphire Jem. 8-Red Sex Link I think. 9-Sapphire Jem.

All look like pullets, except maybe number 6, I'd wait a couple more weeks on that one to determine gender.

Thanks for replying! Wow, some of those are surprises to me. Number two is actually my biggest suspicion on being a rooster so I wonder if it’s a bad picture or if I’m just wrong. 7 and 9 looked the same as babies but now number 9 is much bluer and has a very dark face versus 7 which has that white face so I thought maybe they were different breeds or genders.

oh no! I hope not but I guess two would be okay. But this is only one batch, we have a younger batch of six and suspect 2 or 3 might be roosters too

2 may be. It’s a big comb for their age.

1 red sex link

2 cuckoo Marans

3 gold laced Wyandotte

4 is probably some hatchery hybrid. It has yellow legs, so not an Orpington. Possibly a buff Plymouth rock, but I doubt it because those are uncommon.

5 black sex link

6 Australorp

7 probably blue Andalusian but could be blue Australorp

8 red sex link

9 maybe Sapphire gem or another hybrid. Possible another Andalusian if bottoms of feet are pinkish white rather than yellowish.

None of these looks like a cockerel to me. I think you have all pullets. Time will tell, though.

Agreed except number 2 looks like a CM and 6 looks like a pullet to me.
