Hi, I need help with gender of 8-9 week old splash and blue Cochins

Just an update, I contacted Cackle Hatchery, and even though I wasn't upset about the mix up they did a reship so I will get my standard Cochin chicks tomorrow. They are wonderful to deal with I wasn't even expecting it just thought I would let them know and I was just gonna try again next...

Awesome!! One concern I have is my other chickens are cuckoo marans, will they do OK together or should I separate them? I was considering making them there own little coop?

Thank you everyone for all the information it has been very helpful! :)

Ok so know that I know they are Silkies I'm starting from scratch with knowledge, how do I know if they are bantams? I ordered them from Cackle as standard Cochins so I don't know?

And I guess I should have mentioned they have 5 toes on their feet, is this another sign of a Silkie?

Lol is that why they look so fluffy? I got them from a hatchery on ordered blue n splash Cochins but I'm ok with Silkies too :)

These splash and blue Cochin chicks are 5 weeks old and I have zero guesses on gender as I am new to Cochins, any guesses? :)

First EE egg my BOs have been laying for a bit but so excited!! A perfect lil robins blue egg or as my 2 yr old son says mom the egg is the same as Thomas!!

My first EE egg. So proud of my girls!!!

I am so excited I got a light khaki colored eggs a few days ago and then today when I got home from work I had a perfect little oblong shaped robin colored blue egg!! Thats what Ive been waiting for, for almost 6 months Im so excited!!!!

Same with me my BO started squating for everyone even me and she laid her eggs about 2wks later! Good luck its so exciting!!

Does anyone have an EE who lays a light khaki colored egg? Im not sure if it is a BO eggs or my lil white EE egg its not quite brown but not quite white so Im gonna call the color light khaki! If its my EE I would be so excited I have been waiting and waiting for one of them to lay!!

I got my first egg from my BO about 3 and a half weeks ago (my barred rocks were laying when I got them) and then yesterday when I came home from work there was a little perfect brown egg in the nest box with my barred rock daily egg and of course my BO egg was in the other nest box I am so...
