A gold laced Cochin
Any help is much appreciated! :)
 
They look too young to be sure, but I would say #1 and #2 are cockerels and #3 is a pullet.

EDIT: And I didn't notice you were calling the third bird a Cochin upon my earlier post. @Junebuggena is correct, that is a Silkie mix.

How old are this chicks? Where did you get them from? The Silkie mix and the Silkie Frizzle combs are single and big, not what a Silkie's comb look like. The Cochin's comb looks like a Silkie's. Maybe I'm wrong, come people peep in....

Didn't see the replies that came in while I was typing but I agree with QueenMisha, the first 2 Cockerels and the last Pullet. Also agree with junebuggena the last looks more Silkie than the others.

All look like cockerels to me, and that last one is not a Gold Laced Cochin. It's a Silkie mix. Cochins have yellow skin and single combs, plus it's penciled not laced.

Thanks for the feedback! The lady I bought them from said chick #3 was a GLC but that she wasn't 100%. This is my first time owning chicks so I had no idea!
 
Thanks everyone! I bought these from a local breeder in my area. She has multiple roosters and hens so they are barnyard mixes. My captions are what she told me she believed they are. They are around 5-6 weeks old but the white silkie is sooooo much smaller than the others, almost like a runt.
