I have pretty good idea of what these are, but need a second opinion. These guys are all nearly 12 weeks old. The first two pictures are my Cochins and the last two are Orpingtons.

These I think are both cockerels. Would they be a splash and a blue?

This I believe to be a black pullet

Agree, on clour and sex, with the possible exception of the lovely blue, second from the bottom. . . that might (or might not) be a boy? On balance it looks like a girl, but usually when I have doubts, I'm wrong.

I'm well known for entering a rooster as a pullet in a show, but I would agree with the choice of sexes reported above. I'm not as familiar with the black, blue and splash colouring for Cochins. Nice looking chicks though.
