Whoopsy. Been totally convinced that of my 6 large fowl Cochin's purchased from a breeder I only got one roo. Then suddenly "Millie" who has been the smallest and quietest of the bunch started looking a little boyish. Posting pics of Harley (who I'm sure is a roo), Millie (who is my chick in question) and Sophie (I'm sure is a pullet for comparison). Harley's comb/wattle is red. Millie's is definitely orange-same colour as the 4 girls...but much bigger.
Harley (barred cochin)
Millie (or Willie?)-blue cochin
Sophie-blue cochin
Harley and M/Willie in same shot
As far as attitude Harley is definitely the boss and has been from one week old when I got them. Millie feathered in very fast and had the biggest wings and tail when I got them...Harley was far behind all the rest and still has bald strips. Everybody is chest bumping but Millie backs down from all of the others. Thoughts? Do I have a Millie or a Willie?!

I'm really not sure either! He/she seemed quite feisty so I'm maybe leaning towards cockerel, but not really sure either way!
