Thanks to everyone who has responded previously. I've been sharing photos every so often! Initially I shared photos at 7wks, and people felt 5 girls. Then at 9 wks, people felt 4 girls and a boy. Here they all are at 11-12 weeks...

The mottled Cochin is your only cockerel.

Is a Cochin the same as a bantam? Thanks for checking them out. Next question I guess, how loud will the cockerel be?!

Cochin is the breed. They come in both sizes.

Sorry. I didn't pay attention to your location. In the U.S. we call Pekins, Bantam Cochins.

Seeing that he is a bantam he probably won’t be very loud. Just a couple pathetic mini crows! Hopefully that’s fine with you!

His pathetic mini crows will become manly, mini, squeaky crows.

XD. Yes. And he'll think he's such a hotshot with his adorable manly crows.

Well that certainly sounds much less concerning. I wasn't expecting a cockerel - so let me know if you've got other advice about keeping one with four hens!

Ah, thank you
