Bantam Cochins, 7 weeks - what are we??

[Dotty]

Pretty birds, Marie. I love the frizzle.

I don't see any difference in the hackles or saddle feathers on my birds yet. I don't have much experience with the single comb, and no experience at all with banties, so I wasn't sure what age they become red.

Based on their behavior, I really think #1 and #3 are girls, the rest I'm still not so sure about.

Well, behrable (Alvin) tells me to hold off judging the comb yet. He says that due to the fact that one of mine is much larger and redder, some of these could be girls. So I am holding off judgment for now. I will keep you posted on what I find out. But I have read that they will have pointed hackle/saddle feathers if a male, so eventually we will know. Good luck and I hope you get more girls than boys, me too.

Yours are very nice as well, and thanks.

Marie
