8 week old chicks sexing

I didn't realise I had two threads running against this group of chicks... Well, in case anyone wants an update, I will post here too :D

11 weeks old, they are little chickens now, no more fluff to be seen 😁 We still thinking the only Roos are 1 and 2? They are the only ones with pointy saddle feathers showing. The second rooster is very shiny.

All hens, 1 + 2 ~ not sure.
Sorry to be the devil's advocate over here or whatever the saying is but 1 + 2 are definitely boys :( and the rest look like girls, but i'd watch 7. Some odd, patchy coloration going on there. @Muser could you get some more photos of 7?
 
I'm 100% sure 1 and 2 are boys, they have shiny saddle and hackle feathers and also the sickle feather is popping up too, plus they play fight all the time. It's the others I get confused about 😁 I post them all for comparison.

I will try and get more of 7 (the black with white splotches) but it's so skittish, hard to get pics!
