Breeds and genders???

I think that you are correct; the white one is a White Cochin, as the single comb and foot feathering is typical of Cochins. Judging by the comb redness/size, he is probably a rooster. Pullets don't develop such red combs until they are close to laying.

The brown chick (which, by the way, is adorable!) is either an Easter Egger or a Light-Brown Leghorn. It doesn't appear to have muffs or a beard, and the legs are orange, so right now I'm leaning towards it being a Light-Brown Leghorn. Could you possibly get a close-up photo of the brown one's comb? If it it is a single-comb (like that of your Cochin), then it is a leghorn. If it is a pea comb (flat with no prominent spikes), then it is a Easter Egger. Its a bit early to tell its gender, but I don't see any obvious rooster characteristics.

I'm not sure what your black chick is. The yellow feet would make me think it is a Jersey Giant or Java, but those aren't all that common. So its possible that your chick is an Australorp, and will develop white feet later on.
I love your answers so much!! Thank you!!!! And it's a flat comb. I am pretty sure.

X2 Post photos in a few more weeks, and then we'll be able to sex your chicks better. Good luck with your chicks!
