3/11 are cockerels? SAY IT AINT SO

[RevlisRemmah]

Okay friends. Bad news express coming through. I have 11 babies, some are 5 weeks old and some are 4 weeks old.

One of the 5 week olds is very clearly a cockerel, I think a CCL. His name is lemon, am I right?

Then I have a 4 week old Egyptian Fayoumi that was my surprise chick which I know is a cockerel…



Then I have a 4 week old partridge cochin that was supposed to be a sexed female, but I caught some wattle action this morning. Cockerel?





I was planning to keep the other two but now it will be 3 to 8 I can’t keep them all and I’m feeling sad!

LF Cochin? I have a LF Cochin I was convinced was a Cockerel because she had bright red wattles from about week 5, they never grew larger though. So I would keep an eye on it for comb development, Cochin cockerels generally show comb growth pretty early. It may still be a pullet.

LF Cochin pullets get wattles early. I wouldn't be too concerned about that one yet.

The other two are cockerels.

That second pic of it is really cockerel-y looking.

You're on.

I don't think a single thread that we've done this on has ever been updated (that I've noticed at least). Super funny
