sex of cochins?

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I just purchased 6 silver laced cochin bantams (day old) and was wondering if there are any indicators to look for to tell the sex? Thanks for any help. p.s. I currently have a small flock of barred rock and buff brahma bantams and love them. They have been giving me eggs all winter in upstate NY!

You can feather sex Cochin. The males will have one feather length and the females will have two lengths of their secondary feathers.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I think I have to wait a few days. They are all the same age but some have wing pins and some don't.
