Center bird in 1st pic is a rooster. The other Australorp and the Cochin are both girls.
Are these all hens? *added more pics of giant cochin*

I got another question, How can you tell with the Cochin that its a girl?

First at that age a roo would have waddles down to his knees. They have huge waddles. The comb would be very tall compared to a hen. At this age you should start to see the neck feathers lengthen. They are considerably larger than the hens. He would also be starting to grow out longer tail feathers.
Here is a link to Feathersite.com. You can see the difference yourself.

Her saddle feathers are rounded, rather than long and pointy. She also has a small comb (a 6 month old Cochin rooster would have a larger comb).

Ok. This is my first time dealing with Cochin so I have no clue what to expect from her. My youngest boy will be so happy that he can name her. I told him we would have to wait untill I knew for sure that she wasn't a roo. I wanted all Austrolups but I coudln't contain myself on the Cochin, she was just to fuzzy and pretty. I hope she is a good winter layer.

I see what you are saying, but I think the one they are saying looks like roo, is a roo for me. Look at his saddle feathers, yours doesn't really have ones like mine does. Ours go down, shimmery green, and yours doesn't have that. I would say yours is a hen. Looks alot like the other one that I have though.

Would this shed be good for 20 chickens as a coop? (actually 16 chickens but chicken math is inevitable)
