HELP! What are these chicks

Anybody else have an opinion on my little ones, sure could use the help. So far I have #2 as Gold Campine and #6 as Blue? #1 Fawn Duckwing ?
 
1. Old English Game Bantam - could be Fawn Silver cockerel
2. Looks like a Campine, but I don't think they come in bantams. Maybe Gold Pencilled OEGB. cockerel
3. Golden Laced Cochin cockerel?
5. Mottled Cochin Pullet
6. Blue OEGB Pullet
 
I'm not an expert on OEGBs, but it looks to me like you have two of them and two Cochins. I'm stumped as to #2.

1. OEGB cockerel
2. ? cockerel
3. Cochin cockerel
5. Cochin pullet
6. OEGB pullet
 
Update on my little flock,
#1 was a cockerel Fawn Silver Duckwing named Squishy replaced by a pullet as soon as he started crowing which was at a very early 8 weeks.
#2 was my favorite! a Gold Campine named Milo he was a boy as well started crowing two weeks ago and I had to give him away.

#3 Gold Laced Cochin Cockerel, another favorite who started crowing five days ago sad to see him go as was the rest of my little flock.

#5 Mottled Cochin pullet or cockerel I am not sure at this point but I am thinking pullet.
#6 Blue OEGB Pullet, Wolfie who I now believe will be the one who runs the coop.

So I am down to three, would like to add more but had a little bit of a hard time introducing Squishy two when we found out the original Squishy was a cockerel (this one belongs to my five year old it had to be replaced he loves his Squishy) . Looking back through the posts everyone was pretty spot on with identifying my little ones. Thank you for all of the help, next time I will know better and listen to the opinions offered here so that I let them go to a new home before I know them so well, Thanks
 
The best advice I've heard about selecting chicks from a bin is to choose the ones that are the least outgoing. The ones that scurry out to check what's going on are most often males, and the ones that scurry away to hide are most often females. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn good :)
