    Male or Female???? Bantam Cochin 6 weeks

    Please tell me she is not a boy!! I already got one surprise rooster. To be fair his combs are much more developed than hers (he is a Welsummer, same age), but the redness under her chin is stressing me out. Do you guys think male or female???

    Normal behavior for mixed flock?

    Is this normal mixed flock behavior or are they indeed very indoor temperature acclimated to the actual pancake and feathers melting point upon direct exposure to sunlight ? Still a great possibility they are mixed with a bit of rare vampire breed poultry in my novice opinion. -
