Bantam Cochin Chicks 4-5 weeks

[sadiemartin]

Hello! I am new to this, just made my account today.
Can anyone help me figure out the genders of my bantam Cochin chicks? And breeds? I know first one is a golden lace & I am almost positive the others are mottled.
but genders.. cant quite figure it out. Any advice would be great!

It's a bit early, but the one next to the Polish on the roost looks like it might be a cockerel.

My best guess would be that chick #1 is pullet and chick #2 is cockerel (white head with black spot next to eye)

Darn really? I thought it was a hen. Bummer.

The Polish does look like a female so far. I'm talking about the Cochin next to her on the roost. Just watch and compare combs-- male Cochin combs will come in and color early, usually.

Ohhh okay that makes more sense yes! I was thinking that was a Roo too. The tail hasn’t come in yet & the comb is bigger. Thanks!
