Camilla the buff is a girl...
Petunia the black is a girl..
Gardenia the white is a girl???
And the black mottled is a boy...

Bantam.


@WhoDatChick you’re correct on your guesses... I think. But keep an eye on the white one

 

[ColtHandorf]

To the OP: I believe your first bird is a Red Cochin, not Buff. But both the first two are definitely pullets. The last one is a cockerel. The White Cohicn I'm undecided on but leaning towards pullet.

To the poster with the Buff Cochin: It is undeniably a cockerel.

Hey lady! I hope your right! I remember thinkn my black frizzle was a rooster. @Tracetheroo bought her and then her comb started getn really red so she gave "him" to me until she laid her first egg! When i git sure of it i gave her back. Then she went off to college and gave me two plus their coop

Moral of the story is that im not trusting comb color in this breed. Still hopful for us to have alota pullets!

I agree-the white one is a roo. we have a buff Cochin about 8 weeks now and we can't tell on whether or not it's a pullet or cockerel. pic:

pullet or cockerel? (praying for hen-she is really sweet. )

Looks like a cockerel to me

 

[WhoDatChick]

Bantam.

We.. me and mixedUpturk.. were thinking that she could be a red too.. she is not buff like my Orpington but she is not red like my RIR..

Well I tell you.. from what I’ve seen online about feathering.. only the “buff” one feathered correct for what they said a girl should do.. and the roo feathered correct for how they said a boy should feather.. but the other two feathered exact the same as the boy! So, you really don’t know I guess.. until they grow up..
And the whites feathers are quite interesting.. remember how we thought she was frizzled? I wonder if she is partially frizzled.. if that’s possible ... I’m gonna have to get a pic soon to show!

 

[mixedUPturk]

And feathering out beautifully i shouldve said!!! Forgot it was so curious how your combs are, and ours! Ours look like 2 pullets and 2 cockrels even DH was like "i thought u said..."

Im positive now as @ColtHandorf said about that first gal, she is def Red; a great find in the TS bin Congrats again!

Idk if partially frizzled is a thing or not! Very interesting id Love to see more pics!

Good catch Colt, I didn't read that part about her coloring being buff and agree that she is red. She is chestnut red like a New Hampshire Red rather than Mahogany red like your Rhode Island Red, WhoDat.

Have you seen the frizzle cockerel try to mate the silkie hen? I had a silver pencilled bantam cochin cockerel jump on his silkie "mom" and mate with her when he was only a month old. He calmed down after a while but it was annoying to see him do that. I wonder if that might be why she doesn't want him around.
