[jakatak]

Hi all, ive only just joined and wondered if anyone with any cochin experience could tell me what this 15 week old heffalump is (top pic), i desperately dont want it to be a boy, even tho i call him, him! He/shes adorable and so friendly.

Thanks so much, he/shes 20 weeks on sunday.

I think it's a pullet.

looks like a pullet but I don't know much about Cochins though!
By the way you have a good looking Cochin there!!

She's very pretty

 

[Smoochie]

Boy! Hope I'm wrong...

 

[jakatak]

oooh i hope so, thank you, its a very greedy beast and no crowing yet, but a very deep voice!!

Hi looks like a pullet to me.

I think I see the dark saddle feathers coming in but it could just be my eyes. . My Cochin hens were smoother in coloring and the combs smaller at 5 months. But some ladies have bigger combs than others.

thank you for your help. when did your ones start crowing or laying? x

Male. You can see male feathering in the tail and the wattle growth says male. Sorry.
