You know how it is when you look at something too long, you end up second guessing yourself -- and what you've been told ( of course in dealing with chicks, it's sometimes very good that you do! 😆)
Well, that brings me to my 7 cochin bantams. Four were bought unsexed -- and I am sure of one little cockerel here-- and three more which they identified as female.
2 black mottled are a week older which puts them 9 weeks, almost 10, and the rest are 8 weeks, going on 9.
I am hopeful I just have the one little guy and look forward to what anyone else sees as I am driving myself crazy (short trip) imagining I have an entire flock of little cockerels 😂

I will identify the bird(s) in each pic as best I can.
#1 girl.
#2 I assume the same birds as #1 but still girl, even if not.
#3 boy, boy, boy is he cute.
#4 & 5 cutest little girl.
#s 6&7 girl.
#8 late bloomer boy (the frizzle, I assume he is also in #10. But if that’s the second frizzle....then idk)
#9 The black one... Girl. Early developer.



Ok I give up.
I’m confusing myself.

I think you have all girls, minus the mottled guys and maaaybe one of the frizzles.
 
It looks to me as though you have at least one hen, hopefully more!
I'm not an expert, but I have raised a few cochins.
I think the ones with larger combs then the others are roos?
I've had that experience where you buy a bunch of chicks and they all turn out to be roosters! :)
Your birds all look good! I love some of the feather patterns.
 
:wee Yahhhh!!
Thank you all so much!:celebrate

'Jenny' is who developed the comb, the wattles, and has no fluff tail -- Just have one like this, but boy, is he quick!! 😆
They have all reached the part where they are not inclined to hold still for pictures unless I hold em. 🤦‍♀️
I was reallllly most unsure on one of the black mottled ones because her comb goes REALLY pink when she's upset-- and she is the biggest baby of them all
1- maybe 2 cockerels- that's manageable :yesss:
