I have three 8-week olds. I've heard crowing from the coop in the morning so I know that at least one is a rooster. But which one? If anyone can help I'd be very grateful. Also, I think that they are cochins, and they all have feathered legs--but can you confirm?
First one and last one are boys. The middle one might be a girl, the face isn't as red, no real wattle development and for a straight comb it is still quite small.
Okay, I'm crossing my fingers that the middle one (hera) is a girl. So sad about the golden laced one (aphrodite) since we aren't zoned for roosters. And do you think that they are all cochins?
Agree the middle bird is your only hope of a pullet. Se may be a cochin, we'll need a full body shot to say for sure. Profile pic, including legs is best. From what I can see, I'm thinking she's not, or at least not pure. She just doesn't have the look....but I could be wrong. The first bird isn't a cochin, as they have straight combs. I can't see the last bird's comb well enough, but the color is no standard cochin color, so it's likely mixed also.
