Cochin or d'uccle bantam chicks?

I found the 2 week old pics of my chick. I think mine doesnt have as long/upright of a tail.. but has the cheeks, and I did a close up of what I think were the vulture hocks coming in. Her (hoping) color has become more golden since.

The first is a Porcelain d'Uccle and the second is a Mille Fleur d'Uccle.
I posted some pics of mine (next after this message). I see similarities to this to TKidd624's, but the wings seem longer and lower.. is there a definitive way to differentiate between the bantam cochin and d'uccle?
 
Cochins *should* have yellow shanks and feet. Feet and legs should be heavily feathered all the way to the middle toe, with inly the inside of that toe showing. No muffs, tufts, crests, or beards. They have single combs.

ETA: I say *should* because sometimes hatchery quality birds have a lot of flaws.
 
The lighting in those pics make it hard for my bad eyes to see much on your chick.

@Gray Farms can you make out what this one is with these pics?
Sorry, I was trying to capture her color change in those. Here are some as of now, 3 weeks.

Yea, and they were no help at the store as far as breeds even went, just that they were bantams. This one was completely black, gold color started coming in last week.

Well it doesn't have any yellow, the foot feathers are getting super long and wide. I'm not sure if she has a beard just yet, but definitely some prominent cheeks.
