Cochins - Cockerels or Pullets

We have cochins as well. They both look to be pullets to me. They are both walking close to the ground which is a girl thing. You can look at the length of the wing feathers to give you an idea. If the wing tips reach the butt area, they are girls. The boys have substatially shorter, smaller wings. You will also see classic Rooster behavior to include stare downs, mock fighting and upright gait. They will also instinctively look at the sky for predators. Very pretty. View attachment 2713846
This is really interesting!! Thank you so much 😊 Since this posting, I am still convinced they are pullets. I have several other breeds that are the same age and the cockerels are clearly cockerels! These two show none of that behavior.

Now I have two young frizzles. Praying those two are pullets as well! Lol
