I could really use some help with guesses on what these chicks might be. I'm pretty sure most of them are just BYM/EE/OE but the brown one has heavily feathered feet (I couldn't get a picture because they like to sit, constantly) and the black and white has some very light fluff on their legs plus what almost looks like a small crest. I have no idea what they might be! The flock had silkies, marans, cochins, and polish in it.

Any guesses on what they may be and whether they're pullets or cockerels would be a great help. I'm pretty certain #1 is a cockerel and I think #4 might be as well. I tried to get as many pictures as I could of their combs and feathers. #6 has been incredibly slow to feather and also refused to stay still!

1. Cockerel, probably EE or OE mix
2. Pullet, probably EE or OE mix
3. Pullet, probably EE or OE mix, possibly part silkie, because of the dark comb
4. Probably cockerel, EE or OE mix
5. Pullet, Cochin mix
6. Pullet, Polish mix

I was thinking #6 might be a polish mix, it would be awesome if they were! Thanks for the input.
 
Agree on #1 but am not sold that #4 is a cockerel quite yet. Comparing #2 and #4 the comb size isn't that different, and neither have pink or red kicking in.

#6 will be fun to watch mature- BYMs are kinda my new favorites!

#4 has given me so much grief but I love them and I'm really excited to see #6 grow.
