Cochin pullets! Or are they?!

No need to make a hasty decision.
It might be best to talk it over with your daughter now that you know you have Cockerels.
She is a teenager now and she may have an idea or a suggestion.
So, tell her since they are hers therefore, she can decided what she wants to do.
Never Know, she might surprise you!
You'll probably come out ahead if you do that.
No harm done by talking to her with an adult matter and decision. If she choices to keep them, then help her make her own BYC account on here and we can help her think it through. We have other teenagers on here too that are learning and planning to build their own coops.
We have spoken about it. But I think our roo would kill hers since we only have 8-9 hens right now and I have a feeling he’d not like sharing. Her suggestion was to get 10 more hens so they each have enough 🤣. I’m teaching her well.... 😉. But not too feesable atm. She’s ok with rehoming them if needed but she wants two more hens to replace them. Which is looking to be hard to find some about the same age. :/

Well, at least you got her thinking! Keep sleeping on it because something will come to mind.
You have proven to be a tough Mama already. It's just another hoop we Mama's have to jump through. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
 
How old were the chicks when the "sexer' sexed them?
Less than a week. Honestly probably less than a couple days. That’s about how old they were when we got them. It’s ok. I found someone who wants Cochins here. Her friend has some black copper maran and EE pullets the same age. So we’re going to get another brood box and put those girls in another room and send these boys with her. :)
 
You can't sex them until they are at least 4-6 weeks. More commonly 6 weeks.

Glad that you found a home for them!
