Please help, boy or girl??

Hi, I'm thinking all boys but hoping they could be girls as I'm new at owning chicks! (Tiny is an Easter egger) the others are mixed breeds
Thank you!!

For the breeds I think you got them wrong. Tiny is a cuckoo maran and the rest are Easter eggers. Lou looks like the only girl.

Lou needs a name change to Louise. And yes, all the others look like males. Tiny is definitely a cuckoo maran.

Marans have white skin and shanks; the first doesn't fit that. I think all are mixes. I do agree the second is a pullet.

I think that's a cuckoo maran just hatchery grade

Not even hatchery Marans have yellow skin and legs.

OP mentioned mixed breeds. Barred mixed breeds are easy - a double barred male will pass one barred gene onto all offspring, male or female. A barred female will pass one copy of the barred gene onto all male offspring. Chick in question has one copy of the barred gene, so either option is possible.

I'd say mostly boys sorry.
