The all white one is a cockerel. Saddle feathers are pointed & longer. And his tail feathers are curling. Pretty boy.

Lol! This made me laugh this a.m. I have a few more 2 wks younger that look like him. So they are also on "cockerel watch"

Lol, how cute! Like a rockstar! I got it now. Thank you for explaining.

What are streamers?

Right. I just meant to ask if it is a little different with Silkies? They look like cockerels to me also. But Idk anything abt those cuties.

How can you tell if your silkie is a cockeral or hen?

Yes, but bec his Dad is a Cochin, & not sure if his Mom is a Cochin or Buff Orp. But Cochin cockerals develop slower. I keep that in mind.

Yes. I will try. Let me see...

Poor babies. I laughed but I know it isn't funny. I've only witnessed when new chicks pull & peck their own Momma's eyes & eye lids. It is in my opinion, the curious chick just learning? I'm not sure why you have 1 chick pecking her own siblings eyes. I would wonder if she sees mites? But not...

Thank you.

Yes, Thank you. We've kept chickens for abt 20 yrs. (This is my 1st time having Cochins).The Cochin group on fb had me concerned bec they said Cochin roos grow at a slower rate than the hens. Wings & tail come in later than the female. So I have been second guessing. Lol. Thank you so much everyone.

Yay!!! Thank you so much!
