Black Cochin?

[Chickenlady1973]

I bought, what I was told were black Cochin chicks. But I am doubtful. They don’t have feathered legs. They are also straight run, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me: are they Cochins and do I have cockerels or pullets?
(The little ones are gold laced Wyandottes)

Sadly they are all cockerels, and not Cochins for sure.

Do you know what kind? They are they same age as my Wyandottes and the are HUGE. Could they be black Orpington, Jersey giants? Doesn’t really matter but I’d like to know what they are.

Here was a pic of them the week I bought them.

Male sex links? Where'd you get them?

Did you get them from a hatchery? The one kinda looks like a barred rock

Those are all solid black so not those either. They look like barred rocks but the one has some red on the wings so maybe BR mix.

They came from Tractor Supply from Hoover’s Hatchery.
I have some barred rock pullets and these guys are A LOT bigger. They are only 5 weeks old and are twice the size of the Wyandotte chicks I got at the same time

Maybe one Barred rock and the other is a Bielefelder? They both are definitely males.

Could be! But yeah, I agree.
