It is hard to be 100% sure, but it seems that you have a chest nut flanked white, a isabel or florida fancy and a grey, all seem to be black face, probably the grey one and the isabel / florida fancy are both males too.

Where are you from?

Not a problem my friend.

I noticed now that some chicks don't have tears, so they might be black chest as well.

It is rare to find pure normal greys, they always are split to a bunch of recessive mutations.

Your adult male is a normal grey, split for black chest, chest nut flanked white and isabel or florida fancy (i don't know if in the Philippines you have isabels or florida fancies zebras, and both are phenotypically alike).

Your adult female is a normal grey, black face and split to black chest, CNFW and IS or FF as well.

haroun is right, i forgot that he chestnut flanked white is a sex-linked mutation, so your female can't be split to it.
