Cochin Frizzle bantam male or female

Any thoughts on this one? S/he is 15 weeks old here and in the middle of the pecking order. I was really hopeful that it is a pullet, but after reading this thread I am not so sure anymore.

That looks like a rooster to me.

UPDATE: Whoopdedoo just started laying beautiful little brown eggs. Got lucky on that one

how old is she? mine has not started laying

Mine is 22 weeks now and hasn't started laying yet either But her comb and wattle are both really bright red.

She is 19 weeks today and really took me by surprise with laying. I always thought that cochins are slow to mature and between her slow feathering in and rooish looks I just about was convinced that she was a rooster. I think she is atypical in laying her first egg at a little over 18 weeks. Hang in there, yours might still come through!

My still unknown gender cochin is 26 weeks and look where I found it! In a nest box. Never laid an egg today but We will see what tomorrow bring! She also squatted for me last night. So unless roosters do this I think we have a hen.

woo-hoo!!!! there is hope still! .....my rooster does too, but maybe to hang out the girls

she looks like a hen though

Congrats! Those eggs are tiny little things and as cute as the bird

I'm pretty sure you will find an egg soon enough!!
