He or she?

[Torch404]

Went to the feed store for some chicks. My lovely 8yo fell in love with a little white frizzle, which I believe is a bantam Cochin sold as a pullet. I've been noticing the early reddening of his comb here he is at 5 weeks. What do you think? He or She?

I'm thinking pullet.

I hope so.

Can someone please help me. I bought 3 black sexlinks and 3 gold sexlinks from Atwoods. They are all supposed to be girls. But after reading I am worried that this might be a bit that slip in there. They all have wing bands on them for sexing I assume. This is the first time that I have had chickens. Also what do I do with the wing bands? Do I leave them on or take them off and if so. How.

Hello

and Welcome to BYC!

Glad to have you join! Feel free to make yourself at home! What wing band? (I can't see it in the picture) But I think it would be best to take it off.

It's the little red thing on the right wing. I will try to post better pics.

I've never seen a wing band. I wish I had an answer for you.

Looks like a lovely pullet to me.

I really hope that it is a pullet.
