Thoughts on sex and breeds??

[Mitchell'sCoop]

We got 3 straight run chickens and were told one of them may be a Black Sex Links. I think the 2 black ones may both be Black Sex Links and the tan one I believe is a buff orphington (not sure I'm completely new at this chicken raising thing ). As they have gotten a little bigger I think the tan one is a hen and the black ones I think possibly 1 hen and 1 rooster? Not sure every time I think I notice something that may stand out they change up again. I think they are roughly 8 or 9 weeks old. Thanks for any insight!

The black one with the redder beak looks like an australorpe to me, possibly male. The other one could be a black sex link but, I cant see much of it, its beak color is right.

Thanks!! I'm not sure if this is a better pic of it or not, still hard to see its face. It likes to move around as I try to get a good pic of it

The one standing alone in front of the 2x6 roost support looks like it may be a cockerel, but others will add more.

My BSL never stays still, shes the best flyer, this is her at 8 weeks, if it helps...


At least that's what I was told she was

This helps a lot!! The face of yours is very similar to mine, just without the red on it, it's all black but the face is almost identical with the beak and comb. The comb on mine is black and pink with the black beak. Thank you!

Update:

The tan one is definitely a buff orphington pullet. I believe the 2 black ones are actually both Australorps, as they have gotten a little older they both have the blue/green sheen to their feathers, and both seem to be pullets as well! I have 5 other (younger) Australorps and one of them is a roo, the roo looks completely different than the rest of them. He has been super easy to track since he was about 3 weeks old.
