Any early guesses on this large fowl partridge cochin?

[Rhodebar Lover]

I wouldn't assume yet. In my Partridge Brahmas, both male and female wing feathers looked very similar. Wait until chest before getting disappointed!

Do these look boy ish I think so but I’m not exactly sure

If I end up giving him away does my other cochin need another cochin as a companion?

And yes I have other chicks so she’s won’t be alone either way.

Oh that'll be fine! Her companions don't have to be the same breed! They'll still get along just fine

Looks a lot like my three pullets at that age. Too young IMO to say, really. This was my first one at a week old. Was 100% dark feathering throughout.

And at 6 weeks old:

And at 5 months old:

And two more we added this spring at about 3 weeks old (not the best Pic, but gives an idea of their coloring): These had a tiny bit more white on them, but also confirmed pullets.
