Hi, we have 11 chicks from TS 5 weeks ago. There ended up being 5 or 6 different breeds in the batch. And one unsexed. I think we already figured out the white leghorns and the brown leghorns...but need help with the others. First Ill post a pic of them all..

Now this one...my husband is guessing a hamburg? How do I tell if it is a pullet or roo? This one is the bossiest and meanest of the bunch...



And this one, such a kind a gentle one, but hangs back from the others We don't know the breed and still wondering if Pullet or roo?
 
The two that are shown individually appear to be Easter Eggers - the black/white bird I suspect is male, the other female. Is that the same black and white bird shown in the center of the group shot with it's head hidden by the other birds tail?
I also see a Silver Laced Wyandotte in the group shot (black bird with white streaks starting to show in feathering)
ETA - not sure on the bottom bird as closer look does show a single comb..........

yes the pic of the individual bird is the same one from the group shot with its face hidden. So does single comb indicate male?
 
Thank you for the replies! I am excited that we possibly have Easter eggers! Most of these were from the first few batches tractor supply got in and they weren't marked with any breed, they all just said "pullet". I guess some of them still have a bit of growing before we can tell what they are.
