What kind of Cochin chicks are these!?

[Sarahgonzales17]

I picked up 2 straight run Cochins. What kind of Cochin are these? (not the yellows)

Also, any tips on sexing these?

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

Looks like maybe Silver Laced.

Can't be sexed accurately right now. But as they age the lacing is *usually* clear on the wings of females while males can get more blotchy.

Red wattles will become obvious sooner on a male... which just by how the second 1 is holding it's tail... I would say cockerel. But they don't look any older than a weeks or so.

My second guess would be giant mottled... but look more like they will be laced than mottled.

Cute babies!

They look like my Cochins. I had both standard and bantam and all but one turned out to be silver laced. I sold the big girls to a friend, but kept the littles. I love bantam Cochins.
