Bantam Cochin

[lumaie]

Hi, all. This is my first bantam Cochin to hatch. It will be six weeks on Thursday. Is it too soon to get gender guesses? I am very unfamiliar with these birds. I got two last year as I needed a couple littles to sneak under a very depressed, senior Cemani that had no viable eggs under her. This is their baby.

The comb is still yellow orange it's a pullet. At 6 weeks a cockerel would have a red comb.

Nothing screams male to me.
Bantam cochins tend to reveal their genders pretty young with males getting bigger combs around 4 weeks old.
