At 5 weeks, it should be obvious. A male will have a larger, redder comb, while a female will not. Also, if you post pics we should be able to help you.

Do you still have cochin and do you sell them, I live in loganville,ga

Yes we do still have Cochins. Our Cochins are Large Breed. We have sold most of our Pullets but we still have a few. We do have quite a few young Roosters that are just beautiful.

not sure who you're asking, but I do have a couple mille fleur cochin youngsters available but i'm otherwise everyone else is free ranging right now. some varieties are growing out, others are resting. since I had to use the pen for another breed short term.

Just an update on the 4 I got at the sale last weekend. The boys have been in one of my breeder pins this week and the girls in the tractor with my other bantam hen's.
Everyone is doing well the girls have started laying again. Even the hen that had been breed to the point of no feathers seems to have a lil fuzz coming back.

I am curious as to what color you would say they are I was thinking buff but the boys are really yellow/gold color.
I am also interested in getting some more of these birds some quality birds. I believe it may be late in the season for such a request but if anyone would part with some I'd be interested.
Thanks Bryant
