What do I have?

I know some of these will be hard to tell, because you cannot see the full birds, but these were the best I could do for now. Mama is still with them and as soon as I touch them the goes Bananas, I got all eggs from a friend with a variety of Barnyard mixes, so not sure what they all are, just trying to figure out which ones are hens and which ones are roos. They are 8 weeks old today when I took the pictures
. this is Nilla, my guess is she is mixed Easter egger

Naked Neck chick

this one here I am sure is a roo

Penguin, my guess Barred rock, or barred rock mix

Nugget, also Easter egger mix?

I was hoping the barred rocks were all pullets except for 1 and was hoping the naked necks were all pullets as well :-( thanks for letting me know though

At 8 weeks, I'm seeing a lot of males. Nugget is the only one I'd feel comfortable saying is female.
the first bird isn't a sex link, it's just a barnyard mix. It looks to have some rose comb in there somewhere, so the comb's not going to get as large as the straight comb birds, but at 8 weeks that's too much color to be female.
The naked necks have too much comb/wattle to be female.
The barred birds aren't full blood barred rock, the color should be much lighter. They have one barred parent, could be male sex links if the hen was barred.

Thanks for the reply donrae, I was really secretly hoping for 7 hens and 1 roo. If most of them are roos, I think I will keep #1 Nilla, cause s/he is the nicest and friendliest of them all. And for sure keep my little hens.

I think Nugget, Munchkin and Nilla are going to be girls, the rest roos. Not sure about breeds. Nilla might turn out to be a boy

just an update. so far for sure, the black naked neck was a roo, all 3 barred rock mixes were roos as well, and Nilla is also a roo. I am still unsure about the white naked neck and Munchkin. Nugget seems to be a hen.
