I'd wait on that one for at least another week or two. Hard to tell yet!

So adorable!! The feathering on the legs is really great. How old?

Got it on the 6th and I would guess it was at least a week at that point so..... (math emoji) just over 3 weeks is best guess. Im a tad worried its a cockerel since it has a pretty pronounced comb but its exactly like the "pullet" bin giant cochin so there's still hope. Still no pink at least.

I was told mine were hatched on the 1st, so about the same age as yours. They all have very distinct little combs, but only one has turned pink/red so far....so maybe you're in luck and you've got a little girl. "She's" very adorable!

I want a smooth splash female!
I've now hatched 3 splashes, one was frizzled and these 2 have shown that they are boys. Still awfully pretty, but why oh why can't I get a splash female?! LOL

At 4 weeks, I still had hope.


Now 5 weeks

Hi everyone! I'm new to Cochin bantams, these are my very first two

I was wondering if anyone could guess their ages? Or give me a rough idea on each.
They were both from the "assorted bantam pullets" bin at the feed store. They had lots of colors and sizes. I heard bantams are harder to sex as one day olds though so they may be either.
I live out in the country so I'd be happy with a roo, but still crossing my fingers for girls.

This is the bigger one, s/he has a missing patch of fluff on her head, the feed store actually gave her to me for free.

And this is the smaller one, s/he is really spunky, zips around and eats/drinks a lot faster then the other.
