Welcome!
They are all really cute!
The first one, black with some white, is a cockerel. Most others look girly, except possibly the buff with some blue in the tail.
More pictures in a few weeks!

What makes you think the first one is a cockerel? I'm still new and trying to learn how to tell the difference when the chicks are still young?

I know males get larger redder combs early, but I have some RIR pullets that got large combs early, but they didn't get larger or darker since they were 4-5 weeks old.

I guess that could be due to RIR being quick to mature in comparison to other breeds...

That comb is larger and 'more red' than the others, so my best guess is that it's a cockerel.
