Looking for help and opinions on these chicks if they’re boys or girls. First time raising chickens and they were given to me from a friend.

1. Cuckoo maran Easter egger mix 4weeks old
2. Unknown breed 6 weeks old
3. Easter egger 4 weeks

Thanks In advance!

First one is a bit young to be certain. Second one looks like it could be a cockerel. Third one is a cockerel.

Post updated pics in 2 weeks.

Thank you! I have 8 more chicks I’m gonna try and get pictures and post again. Thanks for the help! The cuckoo maran is our sweetest and friendliest chick and I’ve suspected he was a rooster all along. He stands taller than his sibling and his feathers have grown the slowest. Wish we could keep him but we can’t.

Any advice on these birds? Hen or rooster? Also, the few with white heads.. any idea on breed? Pretty sure they’re mutts because they have different colored feathered legs while some don’t have feathered legs. They’re between 5-9 weeks old
