My first hatch ever produced these little beauties! I have 5 LF Cochins. Two have dark red combs and wattles and have already started crowing. They are all 13 weeks old. I have one that has no comb or wattles at all. These two have combs and wattles but they are lighter and neither has crowed. What do you think?

A side view of Mr. Fancy Pants

Butterscotch acts more like a hen. Mr. Fancy Pants is just a curious chicken which is how he got his name.

Girls or boys??? Thanks!
 
I would just have to wait to know for sure because I don't know the tell signs like a Cochin person would.
Sooner or later you will or will not get an egg. And eventually the boys get friendly with the girls, if you have girls.

Here's a bump, hope it helps.
 
Well, I guess Mr. Fancy Pants is staying a Mister! Since his siblings crow nonstop, I figure these two will start if they are in fact roos. My children will absolutely kill me if I have to rehome these. Hopefully they'll all get along somehow. And I obviously need some more hens!
