Cochin - roo or pullet???

[portianaomi]

I just bought a cochin and it has a tinge of green in its feathers in the sunlight. Does this mean it is a roo?

No. Hens have it too.

Do the neck feathers go up on the back of the neck on a hen when she is threatened?

not necessarily, could you post a pic of the comb and a good side shot. how old is it ?

Here is a photo. "Her" name is Poliahu (hawaiian goddess of snow). I think she is 3-4 months...she still makes chickie noises.

Look for rooster feathers in front of her tail. They will be skinny feathers. That is the best I can do on it.....

She is a he.
