Im pretty sure these are cochins, they have real fluffy feet. im not sure on the color though any ideas?

I have no idea what he is. I brought it out of a assorted bantam bin at tractor supply.
This is him when he was a chick.

1st looks likee a specaled sussex
2nd is cochins
3rd left roo right pullet (if they are a pair)
4th not to sure looks like an ee bantam
5th (i will so take her lol) shes a porclin d'uccle ~ over all she has great coloring and a pretty good beard although i like fuller beards and the feathers on the foot need worked on as they arent full eaither
 
1) I disagree on the first. If her earlobe is white, I'd bet a hen she's an ancona. Mine also has black-speckled yellow legs.

3) Cockerel left/front (wattles & larger comb), pullet right/behind

No idea on the rest.
 
I think the first is a mottled japanese bantam pullet. Look up pics online. I just saw one at a show and she looks just like it.
Second is a buff laced cochin maybe??
The blue orp cockerel is the one in front with the bigger wattles.
I think your rooster is an EE
Not sure on the last one. EDIT: Probably a d'uccle

Seeing the chick pics, I'm inclined to agree - my ancona had a lot more dark on her when she was little.

1) Mottled Japanese Hen
2) They are Bantam Cochins. The hen isn't true to any recognized color. The rooster (I can't really tell from that picture) looks like he may be a project Gold Laced Cochin, the hen may be a project as well which would explain her discoloration.
3) Both Blue Orpingtons are Pullets
4) The Rooster is an Easter Egger
5) Porcelain D'uccle Hen
 
I agree that both of those Orpingtons are pullets. However, they look to be more lavendar/self blue than true blue. They have no lacing at all...
