Bantam Cochin… pullet or cockerel?

This is my last hope for a hen… 10 week old bantam Cochin from a breeder. Hen or roo?

Definitely a cockerel. Beautiful colors.

Bantam cochins are usually super fluffy so they look to be a ton bigger than they are. They are around 12 inches long roughly? if you account for their fluff. But they are under 3 lbs. You can easily grab them with one hand.

He was indeed a roo! And the very best one! Here he is all grown up!

He actually turned out to be a regular Cochin, but we have a bantam hen! She weights about 1lb and is smaller than a kids soccer ball.

Oh wow! I think this baby is a bantam red cochin. She's 5 weeks, if she's a she, lol. But she's the sweetest thing.
