My early guesses:
1 female
2 male
3 female
4&5 ??? No signs either way yet

Normally the females have no real comb & wattles for many weeks. Females' combs stay the same pale color but males get a pink hue around 4-6 weeksYes bunch of sebrights! Some are starting to get orange crowns..they are 4 weeks except for the obvious roo with the waddles, he is 6 weeks!
Does the orange crown mean anything? Boy/girl?
No obvious male signs today. That could change by next week, of course. The dark one has thick legs. Could be a larger breed in his/her mix or it may grow a pink male comb. Time will tell.Any idea on these two? They are a mix to make OE.
They are almost 5 weeks old

Thanks! Here are 2 more of my suspected cockerel. Do these help any?@Foodfromhome
I can't see the comb well on the first bird. A pullet will have a very pale comb with a narrow raised ridge down the center.
Second bird has a wider lumpy looking cockerel comb that is pinkish. I think cockerel, but you need another week to be sure.
It's better if you can get a side view of them standing naturally. Can't really see the tail and how they stand and hold themselves nor the thickness of the legs.
Beautiful coloring!
One more suspected roo in center..Thanks! Here are 2 more of my suspected cockerel. Do these help any?
Looks like a pullet.Sorry to bother. I’m trying to take my cockerels to the sale Saturday. An Easter Egger I was wondering about..thank you all so much for the Info.
At 8 weeks, that's a cockerel.I got 8 chicks from a feed store, raised them, and then discovered that I possibly have two roosters in the bunch! They’re about 8 weeks old. I know one of them is a rooster for sure (not pictured), but this barred rock is confusing me. I think it may be a rooster. Thoughts?
