Cochin Thread!!!

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I am new to the chick owner thing but I have to say I'm loving it. Our flock is 10 weeks old now and growing so fast. In that flock I ordered 1 partridge Cochin pullet however I'm thinking it's a cockerel. Can any of you experienced Cochin owners tell me if this is a cockerel or pullet?

The 1st picture is 7 weeks the last one is 9 weeks.

It is young to have such a big comb.

That's what I thought too. I'm so disappointed because we can't have Roos where we live. I know he'll be beautiful because he's already getting shades of blue in his feathers. Fortunately found someone local that can take him and it's very close. This way we can visit him. I really want to get another Cochin pullet to replace him. I was so looking forward to having this breed. They are so cute.

Too cute! I'm so addicted to chickens now (who knew) that I am really trying to convince myself why I should NOT get a new Cochin that's female but I haven't come up with a good reason yet. Lol

Very true Cali. That's why we got 2 blue Cochins yesterday. I couldn't resist when I saw them. I'll post pics later today.
