Yup, I vote "boy"!

That looks like a white rock to me!

That looks like a pea comb and some muffs on the lil guy (or girl...), so I'd call it an EE.

Those are boys. My cuckoo marans pullets are about 3 months older thans yours and have MUCH smaller combs and wattles. Your boys also have male coloring, hackles, saddles, and tails

Wow - he's beautiful! I've never seen a bird like that before, but yes - it's definitely a boy!

Put a little food and water near mom (close enough to the ground that a baby chick can reach), and let her do the rest!

Quote: Heck yeah, a hawk will take a standard (large fowl) chicken! I've lost a white rock and a light brahma - both fully grown GIANT hens - to hawks. And as to the original question of why a run... I free-range my flock on my mini-farm most of the time, but it's definitely nice to be able...

I don't see anything about her to suggest wyandotte. If her legs are whitish, then I'd agree with silver sussex!

The cochin and cochin mixes I've had always show their gender really early on (like week 2-3) - they get HUGE red wattles! If you don't see big red wattles, then you've got ladies for sure.

Oh yeah - that's a boy!

Beautiful!!

Looks like my Ancona hen - are you sure he/she is only 18 weeks old?

My cochin roo roosts with the rest of the flock - so does my cochin pullet. Their roost is about 4 feet off the ground, with a step of sorts about 3' up. His crow is a beautiful normal rooster noise, but all young roos go through an adolescent phase where their voice sounds more like a dying...

I'd go with red sex link or production red - doesn't look dark enough to be RIR.

I see 2 little boys!

I've seen my Phoenix hen roosting above my run door - there's a little triangle of empty space between the run door and the roof. So, yes - they do have a spot they can rest before they make the leap over, heheh. I'm not worried about it though - I figure they're welcome to free-range if they...

Added new pictures and a better explanation of what I'm going for to my 1st post! Thanks again for any pics & ideas you can give me
