Hello and
I have some little thoughts. You can read them if you want

I think your black pullet will do very well at improving the cockerel. She is more round than him. The Blue would be good when crossed back to a son from the black x black generation.

I certainly think the black girl is the best example of the breed out of the three. I did go and trim feathers off of the rooster due to some hygiene issues / he wouldn’t be shown at the moment. Is the goal with Cochins to make them look round?

Yes, that is the goal
Ideally, you want to create what could be described as a feathered "basketball"

The head should be pulled back and parallel with the top of the tail. The curves of the head/neck, tail, and cushion should create a uniform curved circle.

I’m hoping the blue hen fills out more once she reaches the same age as the black. Very helpful! Thank you . Do you raise Cochins?

She looks like she should fill out more. Birds are best to be judged after their first year; once they have their adult plumage.

I used to raise Cochins I had two bantam whites, one cockerel and one pullet. I'm looking to get back into them when I get more space.

How do I help manage the poop from sticking to the feathers? They are in a very clean environment but it tends to get dirty near the vent

Welcome to BYC. You are starting out with good quality birds. Good luck with them. Any possibility of using the seller as a mentor ?
