I've asked before but I'd like some new opinions.

Just as the title says, I've posted here before wanting some opinions on the breeds and genders of my chickens, but they're a bit older now and I now have full-body pictures of them, so it should be easier to tell.

Please tell me all that you know about them! I'm fairly new to chickens so I don't know much about breeds or sexing.

All of them are bantams except for Darcy. The bantams are about three and a half months old and Darcy is almost four months.

Chicken #1 - Darcy

Most people say that she is a Cornish cross but I'd like a confirmation on this. I'm also fairly sure she's a hen, but if she's not, please tell me.






Chicken #2 - Dixon

He has feathered feet. I'm almost positive that he is a rooster because he crows. I don't know his breed so please tell me!






Chicken #3 - Georgia

I'm fairly sure that he is a rooster, if not, please tell me. Someone told me that he is a Cochin and I would like confirmation on this.






Chicken #4 - Raven

Raven is pretty tricky to me. She appears to not have a comb, except for one little spike. Her tail seems to be quite large, which may hint to her breed. Please confirm if she is a hen and please tell me her breed!






Chicken #5 - Ruthie

Ruthie looks just like Georgia and always has, except when they were babies, Georgia's back was kinda reddish and Ruthie was yellow. I think she's a hen, if not, please tell me. I'm assuming that she is the same breed as Georgia.

I forgot to get a face close-up of Ruthie, but you can see her face pretty well in this picture anyway.




Chicken #6 - Alaska

I've been told that she is a d'uccle, please confirm. I think she's a hen but, again, please tell me if she's not. I know you can't see her tail very well but it sticks out behind her and up a little bit.



 
I know almost nothing about bantams, but I'll agree that the first looks like a Cornish X, and that she's a pullet. Dixon and Georgia are roos, and the rest look like pullets. I'm not too sure about Georgia and Ruthie being cochins, but, once again, I'm no expert at bantams so I could be wrong.

I don't know what Raven is but she sure is pretty! :)
 
#1 - thinking more likely a white Rock than a Cornish cross. If she were a 4 month old Cornish cross, she would be much bigger.
#2 - Either a poorly bearded D'Uccle or a Booted Bantam cockerel (self blue)
#3 - red Cochin cockerel
#4 - possibly a blue Rosecomb pullet
#5 - red Cochin pullet
#6 - white D'Uccle pullet
 
Thanks everyone! Quick question: is a white rock the same as a Plymouth rock? I hope Darcy really is a rock chicken of some kind, rather than a Cornish. I was scared that she wouldn't live very long.

1- Cornish Cross pullet, look how wide her shoulders are! A Rock pullet wouldn't be that filled out.
2- Booted Bantam cockerel, doesn't look exactly white, maybe self blue?
3- Red Bantam Cochin cockerel
4- Blue Modern Game pullet
5- Red Bantam Cochin pullet
6- White d'Uccle pullet
 
Your #1 looks like my 4 month old white plymouth rocks




If yours was a cornishX it wouldnt be feathered properly and probably wouldnt be walking much they spend a lot of time resting on there chests and grow so fast their feather growth cant keep up.
