Cochins are a very nice breed. Silkies are very difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. of age, and sometimes not till they crow or lay eggs. Hope you don't wind up with a bunch of cockerels. I would not believe anyone who says they can sex silkies as young chicks.
Thankfully it's quite easy to tell Crele cockerels and pullets apart at hatch, due to the fact that they look nothing alike.
I have three girls and a little man of my own, super cute.
