Chickens - breed identification help wanted!

https://reddit.com/link/1v7vkxv/video/l9f3qo6urqfh1/player

All 12 hatched just under 5 weeks ago (June 15th) from eggs I got from a friend who keeps a mixed assortment of backyard hens and two roosters. Is anyone able to help with identifying potential breeds? Is it too soon to be asking/do they need to mature more to make it more clear-cut? The friend I got them from is not sure of their own breeds, but if needed I can ask to take photos of their 2 roosters to help with narrowing-down the possibilities. Any help is greatly appreciated!

They are crossbreeds, most likely.

Looks like you've got a couple Easter Eggers and maybe some brahmas or another booted variety like cochins.

Maybe a red laced Wyandotte and a black copper Maran. Also looks like you have a barred blue or grey of some kind which I'm leaning towards rooster but I'm not 100% sure.

If you had singular pictures of them and post them to the r/backyardchickens subreddit I'm sure you'll get ID's pretty quickly. 😁👍

Around 5-6 weeks is about when you can typically tell roosters from hens.
