5 week old standard black cochin - boy or girl?

[chickenlady]

I think I have been in denial about the gender of this 5 week old. At first I thought boy, now I'm starting to think girl, but I think that is more wishful thinking than anything else, lol. Please give me your opinion. SHE turned 5 weeks old yesterday. Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately, I have realized that the cochins seem to get a bit red even if they are girls so it is hard to tell. But I think that one is a girl too.

Skyroo-thanks for the pics, yes, that does help. My chicks waddles and comb are not as big and red as your little roo. Thanks for the comparison. Your birds are gorgeous by the way.

Bec-Thanks. I love cochins as well. Hopefully you get yours soon. I am testing fertility right now on my cochins and may have some eggs available soon.

Thanks again for the reassurance. She gets to stay, YEAH!!
