Hi! The little ones are turning 8 weeks old tomorrow and I was hoping I could get some help on Breed and Gender. I am aware that normal it is better to wait until almost 10 weeks but I just could not wait.

They all look like pullets to me, but they look older than eight-weeks in the picture, in my uneducated opinion. :p
However, if they really are that young, then I'm guessing Sweetpea is a cockerel, because that comb and (those wattles) are HUGE. His barring, from that picture, kind of strikes me as a pullet's, though.
And I'm guessing your crested bird(s) are pullets because the crests look round and puffy, instead of too wacky like a cocks' crest. Moa might be a cockerel, though, judging on comb size as well, but he/she looks like a pullet otherwise...I don't see any pointed neck feathers. :idunno
Dinner I'm thinking is a pullet, too, and Eggbart...hmm, might be a cockerel perhaps?, but I don't know.
Eggbart looks like an Icelandic chicken breed...possibly even a Swedish Flower Hen breed (I think those two are similar). Sweetpea looks like a Barred Rock. Dinner might be an Easter Egger (EE). I don't know what your crested breed is...possibly some weird but beautiful color variation of a Polish, or an off?-colored Mottled Houdan. :confused: Moa I'm positive is an EE. :) A beautiful one, too!
Full body pictures would help a lot though, I'm sure! :thumbsup
 
They all look like cockerels to me, except for Dinner and maybe Moa. I'm not 100% sure, though. I think Moa is an Easter Egger; Franny looks like a Polish, Houdan or other crested breed; can't tell what breed Dinner is, but she looks like a pullet; Sweetpea looks like a barred Plymouth Rock; can't tell what breed Eggbert is.
