[calichicken]

So here is a bantam cochin that I am trying to determine....boy or girl??? It is 5 weeks old...comb and waddles make me think boy????But feathers around neck are not pointed at all...round or flat at the end...hmmmm???? Trying to find this baby a home in my area so any thoughts/ideas would be very helpful!!! Thank you

Totally not camera shy either

Agree it's a little cockerel. Those pretty pointy sex feathers don't start until around 12 weeks. My bantam cochin guys I just sold were 3.5 months and just getting pretty.
