Can Cochin roosters not have saddle feathers? I have a chicken who has the comb, wattles, and CROW of a rooster. However, I've posted pics before and everyone but maybe two have said she's a she? When I google, it seems that most cochin roosters have the rooster feathering, and mine surely does NOT. I'm wondering if I have have a rooster, but the looks of a hen with his feathering??

TIA!

ETA: To elaborate a little more he/she is about 20 months old and has been crowing on and off for a few weeks. Not often at all... I was told hens can do this...hmm...

pic her up and pat her back if she lifts her wings out like shes being mated then its a hen
