Cochin Bantams? Help with breed, maybe gender? Finally got some decent pics! Cochin Frizzle Bantams at 3 weeks old. Any guesses on Roo or pullet?

Hello Everyone! I really could use some help with my Bantam Cochin Breed Identification. Also, one of my 3 week old chicks does not have feathered legs/feet. If ANYONE can please give me some positive feedback I would really appreciate it! This will be my first chicken flock. My first time owning chickens so I figured I would start small! Thank you to anyone who can maybe help me out with narrowing things down. Tara

Where were these chicks purchased from? Store, hatchery, backyard breeder? Here are my guesses based on the photos. If these birds came from a breeder, some or all could be mixed. They are too young to sex. 6 weeks is a good starting point.

1 is a white Cochin frizzle

2 is a light Brahma

3 red frizzle Cochin

4 white frizzle Cochin

5 black Silkie

6 It's either a dark Brahma or partridge Cochin. Need a clear photo of its comb to tell which.

7 Maybe an Easter egger bantam but not 100% sure. Looks to have a pea or rose comb, so that narrows things down a bit but difficult to tell which it is.

Thank you so much! I purchased them from Hoovers Hatchery, through Tractor Supply.

You're welcome. The reason I asked is because chicks from a hatchery won't be mixed breeds. Chicks from backyard breeders can be anything.
