Buttercup rooster? Cochin Roo?

[Htxchicks]

Pretty sure these two are male. Both about 4-5 weeks. The silver laced Cochin has HUGE feet and is about 2-3x the size of the other Cochin.

The buttercup I’m 95% sure is a roo slower to feather and already getting red around the face.

I know next to nothing about Buttercups. However, there is virtually no color to the comb. Though it's fairly large.

The Cochin looks like a pullet for now. Post updated pics in 3 weeks. Any boys should have more color by then.

I agree but I am thinking cockerel for the Buttercup, but then again, I also have no experience. The Cochin is not giving super obvious signs of being a cockerel yet

Yes the Cochin I’m really not sure but it’s HUGE ! I will see in a few weeks. The buttercup I agree likely cockerel . I have 1 rooster 2 hens and 2-3 pullets so not a good ratio! I will get enough ladies so I can keep one more cockerel but if I end up with 3 rooster one is gonna have to go !

I'd be surprised if the Cochin was male. I do believe the Buttercup is a little cockerel though.

In your other thread, https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/buttercup-rooster-cochin-rooster.1440320/ I responded with pics of male buttercups. Yours is probably a male.

Oh wow. Yes, definitely a little cockerel then.

yes I somehow double posted but the second thread got deleted before I saw your reply! If I want to keep my adult rooster and this buttercup cockerel how many more pullets should I get I currently only have 5 ladies but I’m on several acres and can build a second coop if needed.

anyone have any suggestions for what breeds to put with the buttercup? Thinking I’ll put all my large fowl with my Amerucana and start a secondary flock of smaller breeds .... need something good at free ranging.

Here are the pics. Strange that the moderator didn't merge the two threads, which they can do.


Both Buttercups are MALE!


3 weeks

5 weeks:

Rest of the pics are approx 7 weeks of age.

One has a nicer comb (on the right) than the other.
