I believe all three birds in question are female.

Isn't there also a thing about if they have splotches of color like these guys do that they're roos

That has to do with splashes of color over the wing bows.

So I'm positive the smooth is a cockrel but the frizzle keeps confusing me even though they look similar. The frizzle just acts very henish. I figured out they're definitely buff mottled duccle X blk tail buff frizzle cochin as they just started getting beards and they have very pale buff leakage. But I just need help sexing the frizzle so I know not to put it under a frizzle cock.

The smooth is a cockerel. Along with saddle feathers, I see pointed, shiny feathers on his shoulders. Leaning towards cockerel on the frizzle too. Both their parents can’t be buff (gold) since these two are silver. My guess is both parents are cochins, do you have any other cochins that could’ve been their parents?

If you guys say pullets then wb him??? His comband wattles are same as theirs also they all have the pointed saddle and sickle If you guys say pullets then wb him???

I'll need better pics to believe it. Especially given the chick pics.

Agreed. Through photos, I see pullets. In-person and in hand I might feel differently.

Both have to be the buff there is no other possible hen, they have beards and the same buff backs and shoulders the duccle had
