Cochins & Golden Seabright- pullets or cockerels?!

[KMoKoop]

We got 5 standard cochins from my son's classroom back in May. I've been convinced only one was a roo, but am second guessing myself now. I know they are slow to mature and start laying so the red is making me question a couple of the "ladies". Also, is my Golden Seabright (about 11 weeks) a pullet or cockerel?

So depending on which part of May, the Cochins must be somewhere between about 14 and 18 weeks old? Given that age range, I think you were right about having only one male (the one labeled Snoopy.)

At age 11 weeks, I think the Sebright is most likely a pullet.

You're saying everything I wanted to hear! LOL thank you
I estimate that they hatched around May 7th. So 17ish weeks.

At 17ish weeks, the females could be starting to get red because they are starting to get closer to maturity. They aren't ready to lay yet, but are working their way toward it.

They are definitely maturing more slowly than some other breeds (some of the breeds that mature fastest can start laying around 16 weeks.)
