I have 4 week old chicks of different heritage breeds and wondering if it's too early to sex them. Any help greatly appreciated, even if I have to wait :)

I am not familiar with all those breeds, and yes it’s a bit early to tell, but I am thinking the last 2 or three might be boys.
 
Sadie is a cockerel. Winnie might be, I'm suspicious.

Right now you're at the early end to be able to tell, so I'd give it a couple more weeks and check in with more pics.

eta; Your hamburg could be one. Mine was really dark when she was in her juvenile feathers and spangled out nicely when she came into her adult feathers.
 
Hi again,

The 6 younger chicks are now 7 weeks old.

Light Sussex (~ 10 weeks) - positive she is a pullet

Ok, the light 'sussex' is a pullet, but not a Sussex. They have pink/white legs.
The vorwerk, blue laced wyandotte and speckled sussex are all cockerels.
