Cochin Thread!!!

These are 3 of my first chicks for the year They are 2 months old now.
Anyone want to make an educated guess on whether or not I have any girls in this group, or is my luck for roos still holding true this year?

Here is one of my "I think" young cochins - any help on this? I lost my list and this babe lost his/her pal about a week ago that was the duplicate. I have been trying to hatch several breeds and due to either postal issues, or power outages and such I haven't had the great hatchings of multiples I hoped for except for Silkies, and SSH! Anyway can someone tell me if this is a Cochin and maybe a sex. They are about 8 weeks old - NOT happy about the camera and watched me the whole time I tookt the photo. Been evading me for two days in the cage for the babies and since I didn't want to stress them out too much I didn't pursue too hard either.

Thanks!

My 4th partridge hatched early this morning. I left it with it's mother to dry. when my DH got home the dog wouldn't leave the side of the mille pen. The little partridge had gotten out of the coop, across the pen and thru two cage panels. He/she must have gotten pecked by the roo but the Mille pullets were protecting it. Now it is in a brooder with its siblings and seem fine dispite a bloody side of the head.
I really need to get some pictures together.
