Bantam Cochin D'uccle cross chicks.

[SJFougere]

This was my first time with cross breed chicks. I've only hatched straight D'uccle before I got the Bantam cochins. The rooster is Duccle, and my hens are D'uccle and Bantam cochin. Looking at the combs, it seems to be like all the plain brown birds are hens, and all the white mix are roosters. Is that odd? Or could some of the white ones be hens too just different because of the breed? Pictures are two of the suspected roos and one suspected hen but their combs all look similar to each color pattern. They are about 6 or 7 weeks old.

The first two are cockerels and the third looks like a pullet. I'm no expert, so wait for others to weigh in.
