How do you tell the difference between a Cochin/D'Uccle and a Japanese/Old English game? Do I need to wait a few more weeks before seeing the difference?

Cochins and d'uccles have feathered feet and a different body shape than the clean legged, gamey Japs and OEGBs.

I only know for sure that 2 is a Mille Fleur D'uccle.

You should be able to tell around 4 to 6 weeks.
Also look for clues like skin color (bottom of the feet), leg color, and type comb.
Of course, with hatchery quality chicks these clues aren't always accurate.

I agree that your first chick is either a Black oegb or a black Japanese. It's hard to tell between those two when they're this small. But if you could find out what hatchery they're sourced from you'd probably be able to figure out which based off what's in the assortment. Not all hatcheries carry Japanese.
Chuck number two is a Mille fleur d'uccle and chick number three is a porcelain d'uccle. I have raised both.

For the Japanese/OEGB you'll be able to tell when its feathered out more or closer to maturity. After seeing Egg Snatcher suggest Porcelain d'Uccle for the third one, I agree that's what it may be. d'Uccle have beards, cochins do not. Once it's feathered out a bit more, you'll be able to tell for sure.
