I'm leaning towards pullets for the black chicks and these are the 2 I'm not totally sure about.

Did you say 10 weeks old. By this time you should see a lot more comb for boys I would think.
If I would guess at 10 weeks old I would say all girls.
Yes they are 10 weeks old. It would be good if they all turned out to be girls. I'll wait a bit more just to be sure. I need to get rid of...
I'll try to take a few more pics to see if it helps. I don't see any pointy feathers (saddle) but it could be early yet? Do the pointy hackle ones come out first?
Thanks for the opinions.

personally i am not an expert but i had 2 roos in my group of 36 and i didn't know until about 3 months. i figured it out when i walked by the coop and heard him crow, sure enough, big comb and saddle feathers.
When do they start to grow saddle feathers? I've read that they are the 'giveaway'...
Bantam Australorps that I hatched - about 10 weeks old
The splash/blue chick (Chick 1) - looks like a boy?
The black chick (Chick 2) - not sure?
Another black chick (Chick 3) - not sure?
Black/dark blue chick (Chick 4) - boy? Comb is as red as Chick 1
Blue chick (Chick 5) - girl -...
