Cochin bantam chicks

[CountryGirl20]

Is it too early to know if these are pullets or cockerels? Also, do they look like buff Cochins or red Cochins? The hatchery sells both. They are about 4 to 4 and a half weeks old.

Red. Too young to tell gender.

I woudl say 2 hens, don’t listen to me

 

[featheredplanets]

Agree on red. Both are pullets.

Yes, Red- the first is a pullet- I am not 100% sure that the 2nd one is also

I have the same ones red Cochin bantams- mine are about a week older and the pullet has very very faint if any comb and the other two have more advanced orange combs. I’m sure they’re roos and those two chest bump. You’re look like could be turning into Roos based on mine and what they started as... wait 2 weeks and see if they get bigger combs and more orangey starting to maybe turn pinker. Mine changed every week- but same age as a D’Uccle rooster and he a full pink comb. These seem to mature slower? I’ll find a pic of mine - these are the two boys 5 1/2 weeks
