Is there any changes that would let me know what sex my chicks are. I have orbington's, Americana and 1 silver lace Wyandotte and one golden lace Wyandotte. If anyone has any pictures that would help a lot.. Some of my chicks have tails and some do not.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. Over the next month, the combs and wattles of the males will begin to redden and increase in size. Your Ameraucana is likely an Easter Egger rather than a true Ameraucana which are relatively rare and expensive (a certainty if it came from a hatchery or feed store), and if it has a pea comb you will be able to sex it by the number of rows of peas in the comb (males will have 3 rows of peas in the comb, females will have a single row of peas). You can always post their pics on our What Breed or Gender is This? section at https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this in about 3 weeks and let our experts there take a look at them. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your chicks.
