What color are these cochin bantams?

I have a breeding trio of cochin bantams, a rooster/hen pair of blacks, and a Birchen hen. The pair of blacks have produced solid black and solid white chicks, and then I've had these three chicks that are absolutely gorgeous, I love the colors on them, but I am at a loss as to what their color actually is. Has anyone seen anything similar? If I end up with a breeding pair/trio, do y'all think the color/pattern would breed true?View attachment 2641613View attachment 2641614 The oldest of the three, a pulletView attachment 2641615View attachment 2641612 And the youngest two
Do you have updated pictures of these chicks?

Old thread, but these look very similar to what my MFCBs looked like as chicks. I just can’t tell if they are Chocolate or Black. They are definitely Wheaten (eWh??) based. Here are a few pics: 9545E47C-ADA0-45D8-B026-14816A66ED5A.jpeg

her last healthy pic.

They’re young, mind the type please. thing is, mine had more buff growing up (with wheaten MF, if black shows up, almost definitely a rooster. If buff is there, it’s iffy but probably hen). So would LOVE to see updated pics.
 
I'm not quite sure what color they are. It's very unusual looking. The older chick pictured looks more like a Wheaten on black base.
The back of this chick has the same pattern, just failed to get a picture of it's back.

The White on the belly of those Cochin chicks make me think maybe some mottling is in there.

Thank y'all for replying, I sold the other pullet, but of the one I kept, she is very wheaten looking. The older cockerel is very dark with some brown, and a younger cockerel is just as dark, but with more brown/red. I've been able to sex them on how they start feathering out.

First two are of the pullet, the third is the older cockerel, the last is the youngest cockerel.

They look liked mixed wheaten.
