Hello, first time chicken owner here from a cattle farm. I'm looking to figure out the sexes of these chicks. I have an idea but would love some feedback. All are from an Ameraucana rooster. The two blues are pure Ameraucanas, the speckled is from a barred rock hen, the two blacks we are unsure of, just labeling BYM. I've got a strong feeling 2 is a rooster (sickle shaped feathers, large size, very red comb), but I'm unsure on number 1 though, the crossbeaked chick. They've got a larger comb then the other Ameraucana, is much bigger, and has an odd shaped tail. If it is a Rooster, I would simply keep it as a pet and not for breeding, since it's my favorite of the group. Any feedback is appreciated, if you need specific angles just ask, thank you!

1 is suspicious.
I'm thinking 2 and 3 are Cockerels.
4 and 5 look to be pullets.

That's my guess - looking at the redness of the combs.
 
I think 1 and 2 are cockerels
3 is definitely a cockerel (that cross produces sex links)
Go with 4 being a pullet and no comment on 5
