They are approx. 4 week old English Orpingtons from @Faraday40
Not the best pics, slow phone camera and I was alone doing it.
Taking guesses for fun and too see if my thoughts matches anyone else's.
Each chick is in a collage. The collage is numbered.
My guess are all hens except number 3.
What do you all think?
Thanks for your guesses.

We'll know more next week. They hatched April 30-May 1st, so 3 weeks.

For entertainment purposes, I'll take some guesses....

#1 could go either way. No signs of being male, but things could change in the next couple weeks. I'm undecided.

#2 I used to think was male b/c of size, but I still don't see any other physical signs. I'm changing my mind to female this week.

#3 You could be right on it being male. I see a touch of comb color, so I'll guess male.

#4 I'd also guess is female. That comb is so small.
 
I have 2 orps left from that hatch.
This is a blue silver laced Orpington (like your #3)
At the moment, I'm leaning toward female for this one, but things could change.

The other one is a lavender Orp (like your #1). The comb says female but the start of wattles look reddish like a male. Because I had a few past pullets with red wattles just like this, I'm guessing female for now, but I'm not very confident about it.
