black cochin

[helper106]

trying to figure out if the black cochin is a roo



I am very new and just got my town to allow chickens with the understanding no roosters. The black cochin is larger than the rest and I'm hoping it is a hen

thanks

OK, one down.........next is my Americana a roo?

Which bird are you referring to in that pic?

I see no Ameraucanas.

 

[helper106]

Sorry, I was told that the red bird with the white feather tips was an Americana.

Other than the black Cochin, that I'm given to understand in a roo, I'm hoping the rest are hens.

the place I got the birds from will let me return any roos.

I say the other 3 look like hens to me.

The red bird you are referring to is an Easter Egger (Ameraucana could be in it's ancestry somewhere, but it's not pure). You won't be able to tell what color eggs she'll give you until she starts doing it. She is a hen
