Help please

We picked up some new chicks today, but the person we got them from were far from knowledgeable. Can anyone take a guess at the age/breed/sex of these little ones?

Little one #1




Little one #2 (it has feathery legs)




Little one #3

 

[KristinosPeeps]

Little one #1 looks like a golden laced polish.
Little one #2 & 3 look something like a black frizzle cochin or mottled cochin.

I can't tell the sex from the pics.
And I would guess they are about 2 weeks old. Looks like they are just starting to get their feathers.

Hope I helped some! They're very cute! Congrats and good luck!

Agreed, and number three may be a cockerel, because it's red wattles are already coming in, but it is to young to tell for sure.

First chick is a Golden Laced Polish. Second and third chicks are probably Black Cochins. The third chick is probably a cockerel.

Agreed.

Thank you all so much.

How soon do black cochins pullets grow their waddles and combs? I am so worried that our little Amelia Earhart is going to turn into Emilio. Is this normal growth for a nearly 4 week old?

I agree.
Amelia still looks like an Amelia to me.
I'm still new to sexing but she reminds me of our chick named Speckles

Here are 2 of the 3 at 6 weeks. The one didn't make it.

Amelia (who am still really worried will crow one day)


We got this little one to replace the one that didn't make it and of course I am worried this one is a roo too. I have no idea what color it will be. We were told it is a bantam cochin of some sort.
