6 week cochins, m or f? (pic heavy)

[tunaoftheland]

Hi, and yes, this is yet another 'is it a roo?' question for all you wonderful people. These girls (I hope) are six weeks and one day here. Supposed to be pullets, according to the friend who gave them to me, but I am suspicious of Franco. It would be ironic if she turned out to be a he, given that her name is already Franco, but anywho, here she is, with the others for comparison.

Also, the girl said they were all red, but two are lighter and two are darker, the two darker with bright yellow feet and the two lighter with pale, almost whitish pink ones. So are they just variations on red, or are two of them called something else? Thanks, and here they are:

Franco

Franco again (unhappy)

Blossom

Bubbles

Buttercup

I'm thinking Franco is a roo.

I am saying Franco is a boy. See the redness of his comb and the wattles. Mine are about that age and they don't have that. Sorry. Look at it this way you can raise babies. Good luck.

Franco's a roo.

Very pretty birds you've got there.

Ditto.....Franco is appropriately named

noooooooooo! I mourn Franco's lost femininity. Ah well. We'll see where it goes from here.
