Chick #1. What could this chick be?

Chick #2. This one is most definitely a standard Cochin but I’m not sure about her color. She is too light to be blue but she isn’t quite white, maybe lavender?

Chick #3. I am guessing the third chick is a partridge silky pullet??? I’m not sure though because I’ve never seen one this young. The wing feathers have me confused.

Chick #4. Lastly... my guess is a bantam cochin roo? Do you think he will be all black with white feathers at the wings tips?

I ordered assorted cochins to put under a broody but we found a cat in the run so I set up a brooder in our shower. When I gave all the babies a good look over I was surprised. The “Chicken Lady” wasn’t there so an associate boxed my order... I’m pretty sure I came home with someone else babies.

To young to sex. You do have one Silkie. The others its to young to say for sure but it you ordered Cochins then the feather legged ones are likely Cochins.
 
Any chance the first chick is a mixed breed?
#2 could be Lavender (as long as they exist in the US), or possibly Splash?
I do believe the third is a Gray Silkie.
Black Cochin on #4. Nearly all black birds feather in some white initially, then molt that out later. :)

Possibly a Sapphire Gem. (sex link)
Lavender Cochin
Partridge Cochin
Mottled Cochin

Too young to sex. Post pics of the Cochins and the other ones combs at 6 weeks, and the Silkie at 12 weeks.
