Can someone help identify my chick breeds/genders?

Around late March my daughter was gifted 4 chicks from Tractor Supply. The person who gave them to us chose chicks at random, and wasn't able to tell me if they were straight runs or pullets, or the breeds. The next day I added 4 more to our flock (2 RIRs, 1 Buff Orpington, and 1 partridge colored plymouth rock). I would like help identifying the breeds of the other 4 if possible. I'm thinking one is either a Leghorn or Amberlink (roo for sure), one is either a Wyandotte or Cochin. The others I have no idea about. The Amberlink/Leghorn started crowing today. So I'm almost %100 he's a boy, but I'm hoping the others are pullets. One of the RIRs is looking a little Rooster-ish though! Thanks for the help!

Main focus of 1 looks like a black sex link pullet.
2 looks like an Australorp, leaning cockerel.
3 is a Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet.
Main focus of 4 is a RIR cockerel.
5 is the same Australorp as 2?
The white bird is probably a Red Sex Link, and is a cockerel.

Thank you! I was leaning towards black sex-linked on the first one, but I wasn't sure. There are so many breeds with black and yellow chicks out there, and Google lens can only get you so far lol. Sorry about the duplicate images. I was attempting to show all of them in different angles, but other than the little australorp, they don't like the camera very much! He is my favorite so far, and I was afraid he would turn out to be a roo. The white guy started attempting to crow today and I thought something was after them 😅.

The Australorp is showing a lot of comb color for at this age, but not as much as your other two obvious boys. Time will tell.
 
one is either a Wyandotte or Cochin.
Cochins have feathered feet and single combs.

Your Silver Laced chick appears to have clean feet (no feathers on them) and a rose comb (wider and flatter than a single comb.) Those traits are right for a Wyandotte but wrong for a Cochin.

So I am pretty sure you have a Silver Laced Wyandotte there.

Here are a few updated pictures of the black Austrolarp chick. Can anyone tell if it will be a Roo or pullet at this point? As of today he/she is about 7 or 8 weeks old.

With the red in those wattles, I'm thinking maybe male, but I would probably give it a bit longer to be sure. Most males become more obvious very quickly after they start to show.
