More chicks I got from the "Assorted Pullets" barrel at Tractor Supply. I'm pretty sure they are partridge cochins, but I don't know their sex. From looking at pictures on here, I am starting to think they mislabeled their barrel.

This is one of them (but honestly, they are so identical I can no longer tell them apart), at 10-11 weeks.

Same chicken (I think), close-up.

And another of the 2nd cochin.

So am I right? Partidge cochin roos?

Thanks everyone!
 
If they are Partridge Cochins... which they do appear to be, but I am no expert.... I'd guess they are roos based on their colors.

These are from Feathersite.... and I think you can see what I mean.
 
Don't know too much about partridge cochins, but if they have the crest that's found on most chickens, they might both be hens.
 
The cochin roos seem to get red comb and waddles really ealry on. I have 3 week olds and I know which are hens or roos-yours look like roos to me. Very pretty!
 
They are boys. The male Partridge cochins will have the dark reddish colored feathers coming in on their shoulders and the green in the tail. The pullets will be pretty brown with some lacing.
This is my boy at 8 weeks old. The person i got him from got him from TSC out of the pullet bin too!
