Chicken Newbie needs help :)

[mimi4bye]

Hi there. With the exception of having a few free range OEG Bantams running the yard, I am relatively new to the chicken thing. These little guys (gals)? were picked up on a trip to TSC to by rabbit food. I could not resist. They are soo sweet and really little "people" chicks. They practically jump on me when I go out to feed (talk) to them. Problem is I have absolutely no idea breed they are and what sex they may be. A friend suggested they are bantam cochins. It looks like a hen and a rooster, but I am not sure. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

sorry, I'm not sure on the sex, but I think you may be right with one of each. One definitely looks like a roo though.

They look like black frizzle cochins, not sure on the gender.
