Are these roos?

[JordannL]

Hello! So I've noticed these Partridge Cochin and Mille Fleur D'uccle chicks combs are a little brighter compared to the rest of my flock. Are these possible roosters?

In my opinion, all of these are roosters!

1. Probably

I thought so but I wasn't sure if they were! Most of the others combs are not nearly as red. They're all like a light pink except these babies.

Lol thank you! That's what I figured but just wanted to make sure if I thought correctly. The Partridge is HUGE and so is #2, compared to all of the other chicks. But I didn't think size was an absolute sign of anything.

The partridge Cochins are female. Males would be Black Breasted, females get breast feathers with Pencilled/laced type pattern.

Oh! Okay, I didn't know that!

You're welcome.

It's a sexually dimorphic color pattern, like the Duckwing, & Wheaten colorations.

Thank you! I was just going off of the usual color of comb. I know something new, now! I also noticed the size difference in this one vs the other Partridge Cochin Bantams I have, that are the same age. They're 6 weeks now. I guess this one Is just growing quicker! Lol I actually just got some new chicks and some of them are Silver Duckwing OEB, so I will just go off of their patterns as well to sex them as they get older?

How old are the OEGBs?
I can sex those by down color really young. They're an autosexing type.

Could wait till they get older too if that's what you want to do.
