Can anyone tell me kind of Bantams I have?

I think 1, 2, and 6 are Cochins, not d'Uccles. But then, I can't really see the combs and/or any indication of a muff/beard. Clear head/face shots would help.
 
The chicks with the feathered feet are D'uucle (they are the only breed of chicken with "hawk feathered" feet). The light ones are porcelain and the brownish ones are mille fleur. I have two of each in my brooder right now! They are so cute zooming all over the place, amongst my Lakenvelders and Rocks. The ones with the longer wing feathers are Seabright, silver lace wing and gold lace wing. I have a Gold Seabright roo, who is is a year old, who is a real character. He is the one that visitors always remark on for his beauty. I have gold and sliver babies right now too. The other one i have no clue. I have a huge flock of full size birds, but only a few bantams, but i am adding a bunch to the flock this year as i adore their personalities and eggs. I got a couple EE bantams, which of course do not resemble each other. Maybe you have one of those, and will have a pleasant surprise once you start getting eggs!

Just sayin'. My cochins have the same 'vulture hock' thing goin' on too and the are def. not d'Uccles. A picture of the head/face is needed to be sure though. A face with the chipmunk cheek/beard look will be the d'Uccle - a clean face will be the Cochin. I'm not trying to argue, I am just trying to point out that there are two possibilities and without further information or facial photos a definitive answer can't really be had. On a sort of side note, pictures 2 and 6 appear to be the exact same picture, are they??

In any case, your little chicks are adorable!!!! Enjoy!!!

I'm not really seeing a muff or beard on these chicks, so I am still gonna say they are Cochins. Again, they are beautiful chicks, and I am sure they will be just lovely as they grow up. Both breeds are sweet, and I Love my d'Uccle roo more than any other of my chickens. So I am sure you will be quite pleased with them.
