Just inherited a flock. Help with gender and/or breed?

[schuppj]

Hi all! In a fortuitous event, my family and I have come welcome a flock to our backyard. Our second time around and we're looking forward to it. Say, I wonder if folks would be willing to help us identify gender and/or breed for these? I have a few ideas, but I'm no expert. We sadly cannot keep the cockerels in our town. I think I see a couple in there, but wanted to confirm. I found a nice farm to rehome them this weekend.

There are 10 birds total and to hopefully help, I've labelled each one. Happy to take more photos if that would be helpful.

Thanks!!

1, 2, 3, and 6 are cockerels!

Candidates 2, 3 and 6 are definite boys. #1 is probably a boy if it is the same age as the rest. More pictures showing the side of its body could help.

Breeds

1 is maybe a Swedish Flower hen, or a mix.

2, 3, 4, 6 are olive eggers or a barnyard mix if they were hatched by the raiser.

5 could be a black sex link, black copper Marans, or another mix. It really depends on if the chicks were bought from a store or hatchery, or if they were hatched by a backyard breeder.

7 and 8 could be lavender Orpingtons

9 looks like a buff Orpington

10 is a speckled Sussex.
