At the end of the school year a student gave me 6 chicks as a gift. They were supposed to be all pullets, 3 polish and 3 silkies, but at this point it's clear there is more going on.

Can anyone help identifying the breeds? I see 2 polish, 2 maybe? Silkies and 2 mystery chickens. I'm worried the feather footed gold and black ones might be little cockerels.
 
2 Polish "silver laced", 2 silkies "black and partridge", 1 Cochin "black, 1 d'Uccle "buff columbian". The Cochin and the d'Uccle are cockerels for sure. Polish and Silkies are harder to tell until they are older. So you'll have to wait on them.

Are they all going to be bantams?
 
If they are all the same age then yes. d'Uccles and Silkies are true bantams so no worry there "in the US anyhow, large breed Silkies exist abroad". And if they are the same age then the Cochin and the Polish are most likely bantams as well as that they are the same size.
