I bought 4 blue cochins and...2 something elses

Hello, I hope this is the right place to put this. 5 days ago, I got 6 chicks from tractor supply. I picked 3 blue cochins, what I think is a white cochin, and the man put another blue and something orange in the box as well. I thought the orange bird was an older cochin, maybe partridge, but now I'm not so sure...I read that cochins have feathering on the 2 outside toes, but this baby's feathers stop on the 1st outside toe, and my white cochin (I think), which seems younger, is feathering in faster...

I'm not sure if it will help, but here are pictures from the day I brought them home.

I think the one is just a hatchery quality GL Cochin.

I think the one is just a hatchery quality GL Cochin.

That is definitely a possibility. I looked at GL and Partridge Cochin chicks, and some of each looked similar. I also thought maybe some sort of Brahma, due to the size difference and since I had one a few years back that feathered in the same but had lower quality leg feathering.

It looks more like a buff Brahma, but I was going off the majority there.

Can you get a good pic of the comb?

Does she has a pea comb?(I can't see it very well).
The wing pattern looks like a buff Brahma.
Also, the thing about the feathers on the first and second toe can't be used to determine the breed. Poor quality cochins and brahmas can have very little feathering on the toes.

I tried to get a better picture of her coloration and legs as well...I just noticed that, comparing her to the cochins and mix breed chicks who all have single combs, her comb looks different...

Thank you!! I knew something was off when I picked out the chicks, I only picked 3 blues and the white, but apparently the man knew I would appreciate this one eventually. I love them all and I can't wait to see them grow!

Yep, definitely a buff Brahma!
