Any guesses on gender??? Bonus for thoughts on breeds too.

We are new to owning chicks and my daughter’s class hatched them for a little project. We ended up with 4 sweet babes!! We love them all!! I am quite certain one is a Roo ans the comb was prominent from day one on that one…and I am fairly confident one is an EE pullet. However, being a newbie I'm really just guessing big time. We brought them home at two weeks and they are now about 5 weeks…. I’m attaching photos of the day we brought them home to pics I just took yesterday. I don’t know how to number pics so pics 3 & 4 are of what I think is the Roo. Our white one in pic 4 just had their comb pop up over the last few days out of nowhere. This one also is all light yellow/white with a few flecks of black showing in new feathers. Pics 5-7 are the chick I believe to be our EE and to be a pullet. Her legs are green as well with no wattles or comb obvious to me. Pics 8 & 9 are of our sweetest babe. She cuddles and is a gentle one. However, I’m starting to worry that she might be a Roo….her comb hasn’t necessarily changed in size, but sometimes it looks red and other times it looks pink. She also has wattles forming, but they are light in color. Sorry for the overload!! The suspense it getting to me as to know what we have here. Lol! Thanks for any input or thoughts!!! 😊💜🐓

Thank you! That’s what I was afraid of 😕…we live in town and will have to rehome the Roos. We love them though, so we will be getting more in the near future.
We love having the chickens that is…and if we didn’t live in town I would love to have a roo for sure.😉
