Mixed Chicks breed/gender

I believe this black and white chick is an Easter Egger cockerel because of how the tail points downward. He does not have a red comb but none of the eater Eggers hatched do. He’s 8 weeks old.

The gray one looks like a hen and came from and Easter Egger mix and looks more similar to an amerecauna.

The two black birds have feathered shanks and came from dark brown eggs which I suspect to be black copper marans. It looks like one is a hen and one is a roo. Also 8 weeks old.

I don't see any signs of a cockerel on the black/white one, your grey bird also looks like a pullet, I agree both look like Easter Eggers or mixed breeds. Both Marans are 8 weeks? It looks like you have a pullet, and the other one has a much developed comb but it just looks like an older pullet to me, I don't see anything else that points cockerel

The Marans on the last picture is a boy.

I also have this 8 week old Easter Egger. Smaller than most but still suspecting a roo because of color pattern and likes to instigate fights with other chicks.

I've found out that behavior isn't a good indicator. One of my smallest pullets will boss the cockerels off the nice dustbathing hole he spent 20 minutes digging.

Also the tail is curved down (not shown in this pic) but they are only 8 weeks old so maybe I’ll know for sure in a few more weeks.

There is no hackles or sickles, the angle of the tail is not a concern and is a common shape among easter eggers
