Got some new chickens today, but have no idea what breed they are?

top one is a barred rock. Not sure on the second - almost looks like an Orpington, but I'm not sure.
 
Barred Cochin [Rocks don't have feathered legs] and Blue Cochin [or Orpington if legs are unfeathered, can't quite tell, tail looks Cochin]

Hi both hen & rooster have feathere feet?
Both are Cochins then :D A Barred and a Blue, they will give all Barred and Blue Barred offspring if bred together. The male offspring will be darkbarred like the hens, though, normally barred males are lighter, but if they only have one barred parent they will have dark barring. The chicks will not be sex linked because it is the male that is Barred.
