I have 3 fluffy chicks and 3 golden apparently they are mille fleurs and buff rock hens. I hatched them myself but now I'm unsure which is male or female. HELP!! none are showing male characteristics apart from the combs being darker. So I'm really unsure and any help would be appreciated they are around 6/7 weeks

Welcome! One of your buff chicks is a cockerel. It's too soon to commit to any of the others. More pictures later!
What breeds are they supposed to be?

I just got told they were buff rocks and mille fleurs..... I'm a total chicken novice. They seem happy and healthy but obviously I'm only wanting hens. So you think the ones with the darker combs are male? Thanks x
 
'Millie fleur' is a color, not a breed. Some people call Belgian d'Uccle bantams by that name, because many of the early ones came in that color pattern. Like mine.

IMG_0171.JPG Here's an adult trio. They mature at under two pounds apiece, and your birds are much bigger. The buff chicks could be Plymouth Rocks, and the feather legged chicks with small combs could be Cochins, maybe.
