Bantam Cochin Gender Patterns

[DuckenNuts1937]

Hey y'all!
They're still young, about 3.5 weeks, but I've seen quite a few accurate gender posts with Partridge bantam Cochins by using color patterns. What do you guys think of these 3 so far?? What change in pattern should I be looking for if they are a cockerel? Thank you!!!!

They look partridge.

They are! I've just seen some people able to sex them early by looking at their feather patterns.

Awe shoot, I'm sorry, I missread that.

They look like girls to me right now.

It's the breast feathers that are different between both sexes in Partridge Cochins. The males have black breast feathers and the females would have patterned feathers. Looking at yours I would tentatively say all pullets, but I would be more sure in a couple of weeks when more feathers would have grown in.

I'd say update again in 2 weeks though.
