So I got gifted some chicks because hurricane Helen hit us super hard, took out our old barn and half our home. Idk what they are or their gender

I know they are only 5 weeks maybe? I don’t have the ladies contact. She just gifted them to my aunt a week ago and I’m very grateful but I’m also very curious. I know they’re too young to be 100 on gender but if any of you seasoned pros have any tips it would be greatly appreciated and fun.

The second one pictured (white chest and red comb) is a cockerel. I am suspicious of the 3rd from the last one pictured (half in shadow, pink comb) because its comb seems pretty developed for its age. None of the others have any traits I can see that make me think male at this time, but time will tell.

Ty! I think he’s a speckled Sussex cockerel. I mean I know he’s a cockerel but I’m guessing at the speckled Sussex part. I also think ur right on the black and yellow chick

4507 and 4509 are both male....combs are dark pink for the age. They look under 8 weeks old. Note: I'm not familiar with the dark-skinned breeds enough to be able to sex them since I go by the hue of the comb/wattles.

They're cemanis. Those I do know because the lady used to breed them and was moving back to Indonesia so she gave them to us. The other ones were her neighbor’s, who donated them so she could give them to us

I thought they were A. Cemanis, but there are a few other breeds that look similar. I'm just so unfamiliar with sexing them given that the comb and wattles are so dark. I don't know if it just done by height/size for the age instead.
