Oh NO! What are these new feathers?? Another Roo?!?!?

I noticed tonight on my STUNNING (imo) fuzziest footed beautiful cochin chick these weird striped feathers coming in under (her?) chin??

 

Are these indicative of a beautiful giant Rooster that will also sadly leave my flock, or just signs of possible mutt-ness?

 

3 weeks old and what I thought was a black cochin bantam

That's just a barring pattern on the feathers, nothing to do with gender.

so would that be a mutt trait? i cannot seem to find anything that would have a solid black body with barred neck feathers?

They are just regular feathers. Nothing wrong.

The whole body will look like that, the entire bird will be barred.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

It's okay- it's just a barred cochin. Just because you saw a picture of a barred cochin roo doesn't mean there aren't barred cochin females :) But yes, that does look like a pullet.

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.
