cochin bantam gender??

[Danif123]

I got this cochin from my pet chicken as a sexed day old female, however I'm wondering if she is actually a cockeral any thoughts? She is about 13 weeks now.

looks like a pullet to me.... but stressed maybe? or hot? her comb is bushing, but its too small to be a cochin cockerel at this age.

Yeah I'm thinking Pullet as well but not as convinced as @Frazzemrat1

I'm thinking pullet, it seems like it's comb would be bigger if it were a cockerel at this age. But I've never had Cochins, so maybe don't take my word as gospel.

That's great I really want to keep her. She is my favorite and the most friendly and we are not allowed to keep roosters over here. Why do you think she maybe stressed? It wasn't really hot on the day the pics were taken, maybe 75. It was the first cool day in a while though.

Very nice looking pullet to my belief!

Combs can blush when they're running around or are stressed. not a big deal.

Thanks everyone I was getting a little worried I had another rooster on my hands. My first two chicks ever both turned out to be cockerels and I had to re-home them. Thankfully my friend took them 8 hours upstate to his fathers 100 acre goat farm, so they are living my dream for me.

Rest assured that it a Mottled Cochin Pullet. Cochin cockerels have larger combs than that at five or six weeks...lol
