I have an update and i need it answerd plz. The partridge's comb has now become an irregular shape, by that i mean it does not go in a straight path and it has gotten very large. The possible Japanese now has larger tail feathers and likes to show them off. The Buff, White, and the Japanese all have a slight choke in there voice. They will be peeping and then they will sound somewhat horse. It is especially obviouse when they are calling for there friends. They sound like ducks! Lol. Also the cochins all have feathered feet. All of the cochins feathers on there feet stop at the first toe except for the partridge which goes to the 2nd. Finally the Japanese choick was once with the buff and it was trying to corral it with its wing. You know when roos go next to a hen they want to move and they walk up to them with there side and start brushing there wing on the ground and walking around them. thats what it did. I know it is ridiculous that i have not figured out there sex yet but im semi new to chickens and im sure il get better.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
P.S. I will have some pictures up ASAP

Yes, pictures will help! It should be a little more obvious now than it was a month ago.

black, partridge cochin, jap = roos.

i will stand by my origional guess of roos being black and partridge cochins and probably the jap as well, updated photos would be helpful! they will likely start to lay around 6 months, give or take, every bird is different, and it also can depend on if the coop has light or not (14 hrs of light is optimal, so without it they may or many not wait until longer daylight hours to lay). The little feathering on the feet and poor comb sounds typical of hatchery/pet quality birds to me, on the cochins ideally the outer toes should be heavily feathered.

We had two cochin partridges that looked like yours. We thought they were roosters too and our belief was confirmed with . . . a crow.

Finally..... after MONTHS of anticipation, my Predictions were CORRECT!!!!!!!! My Partridge has started crowing and has put on at least a pound since those pics on page 1 were taken. He is huge! His comb is large, his wattle is big, and the White, Buff, and Black all follow him and group together with him.....and there all girls which is GREAT!!!! I really hope they start breeding soon. Unfortunately.... The Japanese did not make it to be an adult... HE died by choking to death on some feed that looks like Purina mixed up some bags and put rabbit food in the chicken feed bag. Also, on my signature, it says rest in peace pudding; that was not the Japanese's name. Anyways, thank you all for helping me figure out what the HECK these chickens were!
