These were all supposed to be silkies (we hatched from eggs) but one is most definitely not a silkie (right?). I contacted the seller and she said it was possible that a cochin got mixed in there. So is this a silkie/cochin? Or just a cochin? I've never really seen a cochin so I don't have much to compare it to

They were all hatched March 28.

And then- I believe this to be a male, am I correct?

eta: I'm sorry, I failed to mention that there are three total- Sprocket and then the darker ones. I'm sorry for the confusion

Here's what he/she looked like as a chick, if that helps:

And then are these both females? (fingers crossed) I found two eggs so I'm hoping so (unless I'm off about the sex of Sprocket, which is entirely possible also)

Sprocket is a cross and looks masculine.

Are there two of the not quite partridge? If only two, then yes if you got two eggs from those three, the not quite partridges are both girls. But if there are more than two, or if someone else could have laid an egg, then I am not sure about the gender of the ones with the larger combs.
