My Orp pullets had wattles showing at that age. Roos at that age have much bigger combs, and the wattles are larger too.

cochins have smaller combs and wattles than other breeds. well atleast all of mine do lol. i thought one of my blue cochins was a pullet until it crowed lol.

That's Ok, my husband thought he got a great deal on some baby Barred Rocks. beautiful birds and only a dollar a piece. well today we were out feeding them and one of them crowed

I think my husband got a great deal on some bantam barred rocks

pullet, you can tell the sex of cochins pretty early, the male's comb is prominant by this age

These pictures are SOOO helpful! Makes me think that would be great if, in the breeds index page, or in the breeds and sexes questions page, there were a sticky with a series of developmental pullet vs. cockerel pics for common breeds.
