Thoughts on breeds and genders?

[Zizzer]

We have a group of 5 week old chicks that a neighborhood teacher hatched and needed to home. She ordered olive eggers, light brahma, and the company's assorted variety eggs. We have never had chickens before. Any idea what breeds and genders we might be looking at? I put my guesses in, but really have no idea since the company (Meyer Hatchery) has such an large selection of assorted eggs. Thanks!!

/\ chicken 1

Chicken 2

Chicken 3 (light brahma?)

Chicken 4 (cuckoo marans?)

Chicken 5 (cuckoo marans?)

Chicken 6

Chicken 7 (cuckoo marans?)

I'm not one to guess breeds, but chickens 1, 5, & 7 are most likely roosters...

1,5,7 are roos. 2 maybe welsummer; 3 light brahma; 4 & 5 & 7 cuckoo marans

Not sure on breeds @Rhodebar Lover @RoostersAreAwesome may help.

I agree that 1,5, and 7 are cockerels

1 is a bielefelder. 6 maybe a croad langshan? not sure

4,5&7 look like my barred rock chicks... 6 doesnt look quite right for a barred rock, atleast not my barred rocksnot clear barring if i compare it to mine...

They have feathered legs, can't be BRs

4,5&7 look like my barred rock chicks... 6 doesnt look quite right for a barred rock, atleast not my barred rocksnot clear barring if i compare it to mine...

Chicken two looks like some sort of production breed, RIR, New hampshire red, etc. I am mot great with breeds, but it looks quite like one to me.

1- Olive egger (cream legbar mix)
2- Rhode Island red
3- light Brahma
4- not sure yet, could be an Olive egger or possibly a cuckoo marans
5- same as 4
6- blue marans?
7- same as 4 again

A bielefelder would be a lot lighter.
