These are some bantam babies I recently acquired. We do not know what kind they are--they came from eggs won on an e-bay auction with a variety of bantam cochin chicks.

They are a week old. Here they are.

I'm not as worried about gender as I am curious as to what they are (and hoping they're some type of mille fleur or porcelain d'uccle or something like that).

They aren't d'Uccles (no beards or muffs), they could be booteds, but they probably are cochins. What type of comb do they have?

They DO have a comb just look very closely.

You're right! They have tiny combs. There's one that I believe is a boy, not just because his comb is bigger, but because of how he stands and acts with the other chicks in the brooder, plus his legs are much thicker.

They have a small, yellow comb, the same color as their legs. It looks like it has little pointies.
 
I've been looking at other pictures of splash cochin babies, and I believe you are right. The pictures of splash cochin babies I've seen very much look like my chicks.

Ok, here's one more banty chick... she's different than the other two. Has more defined wing feathers. I might could find a better pic to upload, but here we go... what is she?
