15 wk frizzle Cochin bantam

You mean straight as in the height of the points?

@WVduckchick yep. The pullets combs make a straight line and the cockerels make a curved line. At least that’s how it looks tovme from pics

My first thought was you meant it had a curve, like if you looked straight down from above, or that it flopped over to one side. But yes, males do arch up quite a bit more than hens.
But I just went back through pics, and I might have to switch to cockerel.
How many other chicks is he around?

4 months - splash frizzles are 1 cockerel, 2 pullets

here's the cockerel at 6 months:

and this is my 2 year old hen.

I have 2 others with her outside right now, another bantam Cochin but smooth and an Easter egger. I had a 4th but it died about 7 weeks ago, it turned out to be a roo and challenged my dog which obviously didn’t end well
I’m keeping my fingers crossed Hay Hay is a pullet, her comb seems smaller than Roos at this age from what I’m seeing
To me Hay Hay looks like your pullet just a little redder

And if this is your first, beware that when they molt, they molt hard! Much worse than my smooth cochins. Mine gets darn near naked!

Hey all!!!
Well at officially 20 weeks our little frizzle laid her first egg so our little Hay Hay is definitely a girl!!! I guess it’s time to open up the nesting boxes since she laid this one in the garden. I think I scared all the chickens I was so excited
