In my order I recieved 10 cochin chicks for warmth. I think I might have figured out what colors but wanted more experienced chicken people to tell me if I am right

These I believe are black cochins, black feathers coming in on wings. They have black and pink legs too.

These are blue cochins? They have very dark grey legs and wing feathers coming in.

I think this is a splash of some kind, has black, grey, & white feathers on wings.

Also a splash? Lightest in the group, light and darker grey on wing feathers.

I think I'm seeing just blue and black.

Often, the blue will come in with varying levels of blue until the adult plumage, and sometimes this indicates lacing will be visible. The solid black vs. the white tummy is regarding the E locus, I suspect, and the possible splashes may be blue or splash- I'm not certain.
