3/4/5 week old chick breed/sexing help!

So my babies are now several weeks old (not entirely sure on exact date but around 4/5 weeks old) and I’m still not sure on some of their breeds, and or sex. But I know sexing is still questionable at this age normally

This is Dakota and she’s 4 weeks old, unsure of sex tho. She’s an Easter egger.

She’s very calm and sweet, but curious too

This is Ella she is 5/6 weeks old, she is a lavender Orpington:

She is sweet when held, but definitely a bit more proud than the others, example, always standing up tall and looking bold.
Rooster possibly?

This is Amy/snowy she’s 4 weeks old, she is most likely a bantam Cochin View attachment 3446556 View attachment 3446557View attachment 3446558
She/He is very calm when held but whenever I put my arm in the brooder he pecks aggressively and or jumps on my arm and pecks also, not the same way the other chicks do. Also feathering out in a way I saw is common for roosters of the Cochin breed
Rooster?

This is Mary Jane, she is 4 weeks old and is supposedly an Easter egger variety:

She is sweet when held but is definitely playful and likes to do stuff (although for the first couple weeks she didn’t do a lot)
I don’t know her breed honestly, but I’m so curious!

This is Ginny, she is 5 weeks old and is an Americauna View attachment 3446566View attachment 3446567View attachment 3446568
I just wanted to show her cuz she’s pretty and if anyone has any thoughts on her breed/sex
Years ago when I raised several hatches of Ameraucana, I found that the roosters tails would stick up while the hens wouldn't, they also had larger combs, your others look like they will be tailless or rumpies. ( like a Aracuna's) I never had any of them so I am not sure what a rooster characteristic would be except maybe a larger comb.
 
Stevie looks a bit diff than my Spec. Sussex.
But I could be wrong. My Sussex are almost 8wks now but they're showing the white specks & are a rust/cinnamon color. (Hence their names Cinnamon & Nutmeg. lol)
 
I got a "premium pullet" Cuckoo Maran from TSC who let me know very early on that he was a he, not a she:
This is Popcorn with his sister Nachos in the back. They are about 3 weeks
