@poultry_admin , same here (don't have the slightest idea), so since you started the ball rolling, I'll throw in my guess too. :-)
3, 4, 5 are girls.

How does this go again? Early presence of wing feathers indicates females?
My guess is 2, 3, & 5 are female. :-D

I'm going with this as I have no idea and @GJHCornish sounds like someone who knows what they are talking about.
