Thanks for the guesses!

Now a question, can I keep all the roos until 5 months or so when full feathering and colors are in or will that be a problem? They are all so sweet right now, but this will be my first time with roosters and I don't know the protocol!

Does anyone have any young Millie Fleur Cochins for sale or eggs I could buy. I am really wanting some. I think they are just gorgeous.

My guess is 1,2,7--cockerels and 3,4,5,6---Pullets BTw #5 has really intriguing color! Some heavily combed pullets can fool ya. Kiko had me thinking cockerel when young but she just grew to be more heavily combed

The top 2 are hers & Tanker's who hatched recently--

The blue mottled is a split to mille fleur.

OK, I posted this elsewhere but no one replied

This is my 24 day old White Silkie mom/MF Cochin dad baby. Any guesses as to the grown up sex or color of this little darling? If it makes a difference, the feet are yellow.

Oh how sweet! I have one of those mixes...(different colored parents though) and it is interesting! I am no exert on how she will turn out, but looks like she is turning kinda mf colors so far.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking. I have one MF pullet that had no white when she was a baby but it's developing as she ages. The chicken calculator gives me gold patterned though so I'm not sure. Not that it matters, it sure is a cutie!

As an aside, I was at the local fair last night and they had some lovely Partridge & Black mottled Cochins. Much better type than mine (sigh). I have to admit I bought them without really knowing what I was doing and now am so in love with the ones I have couldn't imagine parting with them! So, if I can convince the hubby, may have to start my own little project

When can you really expect to see what their adult type will be? mine are 4-5 months old now.
