We got these in my son's hatchery surprise order. Eight barred chicks in the mix. The first two are Cochins, the middle three have rose combs (assuming Dominiques), and the last three appear to be BR. Any thoughts on what genders I might have here? Sorry, I don't have better pictures of them on the ground, we were having to catch all these troublemakers to get any photos of them where I could tell them apart.



















 
Going to say that if combs are any indicator, the two barred cochins are well and behind some other cochins for comb development. I have 3-4 suspected roos (partridge, SL, blue, and gold laced cochins) that are much bigger and pinker than the two barred cochins above.
