14 day old Cochin Chicks (and 1 Olive Egger)

[tripleee]

So reading around it sounds like Cochins can be sexed way younger than I thought? If so then what are your thoughts? I am thinking the frizzle is a hen, the buff is a roo, and the black is ???

the olive egger also hatched with them so no clue if that’s a boy vs girl or too early to tell yet

You can sex Cochins a lot earlier than most breeds, but 14 days is still far too early for any certainty.

So far they look like pullets, but I don't even try to sex them until they're at least 4 weeks. By 6 weeks you should have a definitive answer. There are exceptions to every rule, but most cockerels are showing their colors proud by then.

Post updated pics in 2-3 weeks.

Ok we are at 4 weeks now and def have a cockerel and a pullet, but this one is still a mystery. Any ideas? Here is the cockerel for comparison and the pullet as well.

The two smooth are cockerels and the frizzle looks like a pullet.
