I’m not sure if this will help or not.

When was this taken? I'm really thinking pullet.

I'm saying cockerel.

I have no experience and am probably wrong or it is just a lucky guess. And I know he's not a full bred brahma, but my brahma pullet has a tiny, barely noticeable comb, and fairly light at that. That's what I'm basing it on. I don't know what a cochin's comb looks like, nor do I know which comb is coming through. Like I said, just a guess.

I don't know how the tag didn't work, because I completely missed this one.

I'm gonna say cockerel based on comb, & leg fatness.

Gender determining feathers aren't showing yet, give it time?

My cochins comb was pink.. but it was still small like yours at that age.. the male's was candy apple red and humongous already at that point.

Here are some pics that might help.. these are female cochins, not sure how your mix affects things..

4 weeks


5 weeks, both female



And this is 10 weeks:


For cochins, i focus on comb shape, and whether it starts before or after the nostrils, i don't worry about pink, but actual bright red is a giveaway.

Hope this helps!

The question is: Is my dear Bootsie, a Bantam Cochin x Standard Buff Brahma cross, a pullet or cockerel?

That's a pretty chick! Which breed is the father? And what color cochin?

Thank you so much, her father is a standard sized buff Brahma! We have only two bantam Cochin hens, A red and a white, so I am unsure which one she came from.

Thanks for popping by, she has some odd feathers on the shoulder of her one wing, I posted a picture last night of the feathers in question. And the hackles deep down look shiny.
