Is this a Brahma or a Cochin? And...is it a roo? They were hatched in mid March. The bird doesn’t crow at all, but does strut around like s/he owns the place. Also has a much more developed comb than the other one we have like it.
If it is a rooster, when do they start to crow? I need to know how much time I have to re-home as we can’t have Roos in town.
Thanks in advance!
 
Single comb means cochin. Brahmas have a pea comb. Plus, there's no standard brahma color for white.
White feathers are so hard to see. The best thing you can do is put your hands under the first couple of layers of the saddle feathers and take a pic. Either way, here's what your looking for: The long flowy feathers mean male. Floofy, rounded feathers mean's female.

My chicken chasers spent the night at grammas...so this is the best I can do, but I think it’s a rooster! Oh boy.
Also, this is the second set of Cochins identified as Brahmas we have received. Thanks for the pea comb tip! I read Brahmas we’re not usually white. I love the Cochins. They are sweet birds.
