Hi! I am a new chicken owner and loving my new chicks who are now 12-13 weeks old. I was told they are English Orphingtons, but haven’t been able to find a specific breed of Orphington they look like. Either way, I think they are beautiful... though I may be a bit partial :) Any ideas on breed? I’ve got my suspicions but super curious if you all think I’ve got pullets or cockerels?

First 2 images are chicken 1

Probably Cochins (the ones more developed) and I don't think those are Orpingtons my guess is speckled Sussex pair

It’s probably hard to tell in the picture, but no feathery feet on either of these 2. Not sure if that makes a difference?

Yes, actually an interesting fact is that chickens with feathered feet are the same breed as the ones without. The difference id that the feathered feet make a French type. The same goes for Marans.
