New to this: 10-11 week old mixed chicks. Pullet or Cockerel?

[SLPchickmama]

We have a variety of chicks for our first venture in raising chickens, (Astrolorp, Rhode Island Red, and I believe the rest are mixed breeds.

I’m afraid 4/5 are males. The three black/black and white ones are constantly posturing and fighting among each other. The Rhode Island Red keeps to itself and has a lighter pink comb, but tail feathers are not straight and rounded like my one definite pullet. Please help! Any insights on breed and gender would be helpful.

The two black and white ones look like cockerels to me. The brown one I’d say might also be a cockerel. I don’t know about the black one but the blonde one definitely looks like a pullet

One pullet, four cockerels.
No Rhode Island, but probable Australorp sounds right, and a Silver Laced Wyandotte that doesn't have very clear markings.

1 pullet, 4 cockerels.

Thank you for your feedback... my kids will be heartbroken, but I’d rather take care of this now since we are not allowed to have roosters in our neighborhood :/

Any insights as to the possible breed if the blond pullet?

Your guess is correct, 1 girl.

Golden Sexlink. Friendly, cute, will lay giant brown eggs.
