In need of identification breed/sex for my chicks!

Hey! I just got these chicks from tractor supply, a last minute decision and they weren’t sexed or specific on the breeds, the first two photos are Easter eggers (at least that’s what they are marked as) they aren’t sexed and I was wondering if you guys could give me your thoughts on the gender and breed! I am unsure of the age, but they’re starting to feather a bit.

I also have these two Bantam assorted breeds, as labeled from tractor supply as well, I do not know the breed or sex of these two bantams, any help would be amazing!! Also unsure of the age, but they are feathering some. I’ve had them as well as the Easter eggers for almost a week

So my babies are now several weeks old (not entirely sure on exact date but around 4/5 weeks old) and I’m still not sure on some of their breeds, and or sex. But I know sexing is still questionable at this age normally

This is Dakota and she’s 4 weeks old, unsure of sex tho. She’s an Easter egger.

She’s very calm and sweet, but curious too

This is Ella she is 5/6 weeks old, she is a lavender Orpington:

She is sweet when held, but definitely a bit more proud than the others, example, always standing up tall and looking bold.
Rooster possibly?

This is Amy/snowy she’s 4 weeks old, she is most likely a bantam Cochin View attachment 3446556 View attachment 3446557View attachment 3446558
She/He is very calm when held but whenever I put my arm in the brooder he pecks aggressively and or jumps on my arm and pecks also, not the same way the other chicks do. Also feathering out in a way I saw is common for roosters of the Cochin breed
Rooster?

This is Mary Jane, she is 4 weeks old and is supposedly an Easter egger variety:

This is Ashley, she is 4 weeks old and is a bantam breed of some sort
View attachment 3446559View attachment 3446560View attachment 3446561View attachment 3446562
She is sweet when held but is definitely playful and likes to do stuff (although for the first couple weeks she didn’t do a lot)
I don’t know her breed honestly, but I’m so curious!

This is Ginny, she is 5 weeks old and is an Americauna View attachment 3446566View attachment 3446567View attachment 3446568

That is not a Speckled Sussex, I think. That is most likely a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam. Stevie looks almost exactly alike to my OEGB of the same age. Do you have pictures of when she was younger? I can tell her breed with a picture of her when she was a young chick.

As far as I can tell based on photos of the chicks of both of the possible breeds she is a speckled Sussex, also she has a white chest and white feathers in her under wings :)

Speckled Sussex chick photos:

Any idea what my girl ash may look like? If she is indeed a girl
She has pink feet with some black on it (feathered as well) but I can never get a photo of them! View attachment 3454463View attachment 3454462View attachment 3454461View attachment 3454464
My opinion, he will probably look like this. The loss of tail means it should have a very puffy bottom. Looks like a cockerel to me, even the adults here have very, very minimal comb and wattle. That’s a lot for this breed at such a young age.
