The blue and green ones are about 2-3 weeks old, and are gold sex-links. Not sure how old the biggest chicks (Hawk and Sandy) are, but the rest are around 4 weeks old. Maybe EEs or bantams. Any help on any of these chicks is appreciated.

Gold sex-link (blue) The green one has less red/brown
 
hawk for sure is a cockerel and possibly milly sandy and rose are cockerels to. i would wait till they are 6+ weeks old for a better guess of gender though
 
Does it make a difference if any of them fluff out their neck feathers (sorry, I'm new) everytime they get put in the big coop? They scuffle and try to land on the other's heads.

no even pullets will do that to, also before you ask about them

every chick has spur bumps and some pullets/hens even grow spurs and sometimes in an all hen flock a hen may start to crow. every time i had put my chicks out (they are out full time now) they did that same thing i think they enjoy the bigger space and more room to roam :)

I knew that a hen could crow, but at what age do they get the spur bumps?

I was really hoping that Rose was a female.

The one chick I didn't like that much when I got it has now become my pet.
 
I think Sandy is a boy for sure. Milly looks like a Milton, and Rose looks like a Roger. Brave Heart, the blue sex link and Tilly look like girls. Tilly loks like a girl with attitude LOL

But hey, I am not good at this. You could possibly flip a coin and be more accurate than I.
 
Yep, Tilly definitely has an attitude! She can really pinch with that beak too!

Would any of them be EE?

Also, if the gender guesses are from the red in the comb, could some hen's combs turn red faster than others. Hawk and Sandy are older than the others.
