Wyandotte and white cochin

[shawnanjohn]

Cockerels or pullets? I ordered all pullets but well nothing is perfect. About 6 weeks old. I'm pretty sure the wyandotte is a pullet she has one spike starting to come in on her comb but it is still nice and orange. The cochin has the only set of pink/red comb and waddles out of everyone but idk if that is a breed characteristic with the whites. Most pics I come across online show redder combs then most.

Hi there.

Wattles on the white one and stated age... say cockerel. I would have a hard time convincing myself otherwise.

Feather pattern on the Wyandotte says cockerel. But the comb isn't screaming it and I can't make out wattles. Could just be poor pattern quality.

I still love your Cochin and do wish I wouldn’t have cut that from order.
Fingers crossed for your GLW! Mine looks exactly like yours and is 4 weeks. Supposed to be a pullet also.

after we finished talking the other day about the my 2 cochins being opposite in personality it started to click... crap.. dude looks like a lady. I wish you were closer you could take him! No boys allowed in my town.
I don't know about the GLW I have been googling and comparing and it may need to be a couple more weeks unless someone can give me a confident response. All 6 have waddles this pic shows them a bit better. They would rather eat my phone then get their pictures taken.

I’m technically allowed roosters, but I don’t think our neighbors would like us very much anymore . He does look a little pink. Maybe it’s the white making it look worse. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Idk, the GLW looks like a cockerel to me. The comb looks really big, along with the poor lacing on the wings. That all says cockerel.

Now, the cochin... the face is aweful red for a pullet, but! a cochin cockerel of that age usually has a much larger comb. I'm on the fence here.

I’m in for wait just like you, but I found a few threads last night that made me very hopeful! Here is one https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...s-pg-2-golden-laced-wyandotte-genders.799115/

My Victoria just looks like a girl, but does have the reddish comb, but I read GLW can pink up early sometimes

Victoria 4 weeks, she has the tiniest pale wattles appearing.

Update it is now they are about 10-11 weeks or somewhere abouts. Nobody is crowing but the glw is very forward. Themy partridge cochin caught up with the white and they now how similiar comb and wattles. Still waiting to hear a crow or 2 before freezer camp.

I still think the GLW is a cockerel, but the cochin is a pullet.
