What breeds are these 2.5 week old chicks?

This was the blue chicks shell and she definitely looks like the Google pictures of this breed of chick

These are the shells of the two black chicks, same breed but why does one have tail feathers and the other doesn't? Does that indicate male/female?

That name sounds familiar, maybe you all can make out the writing on the eggs?

I see Olive Egger and Blue Laced Red Wyandotte.

Those say Black Copper Marans.

Thank you!!!

Do you think the tail feathers on one of them means male or female? The darker shell was the one without tail feathers now. Obviously I spend way too much time scrutinizing these chicks

No. You'll be able to tell the sex based on how quickly the comb starts to grow and get red.

Olive Egger 2nd generation
Blue laced red Wyandotte (twice)
Laced Blue Belle

They will make a beautiful flock with a rainbow basket!

OK gotcha. And that's around 6- 8 weeks? I can already tell some combs are bigger than others but that doesn't mean much at this point right?
