bantam chicks

[orpington girl]

Hi, everyone,
I got these from a straight run at the feed store. All they could tell me is that they are about 5 weeks old and are bantam in size. Do you think they are both girls? I think the white one may be a boy.
I think the buff one may be a cochin. Not sure about white one. Has 5 toes, but not a silkie. All I had experience with are Orpington. Could you take a guess? Thanks in advance. I learn so much at this forum.

Looks like a pullet and cockerel to me, especially for how developed he is

Thank you, SeaPolka. Any idea about breeds?

I see feathers on the pullets feet so I'd be guessing she might have some Pekin or Cochin Bantam in her. I think I'd wait till they've got more feathers before guessing properly

The white one is a cockerel as SeaPolka said. It has 5 toes, no crest, no beard, no feathers on the legs, and apparently white legs and skin unless I am seeing the photo wrong. So the only pure breed it could be is white Dorking or white Dorking bantam if such a thing even exists. Or, more likely, it's a mix. The other looks like a buff Cochin bantam pullet.

Thank you Jed Jackson and SeaPolka. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Buff Cochin pullet, crossbred cockerel. And if they are just 5 weeks the cockerel may not be a bantam. He's getting awful big.
