I have six 4 week old Cochins. I know one is definitely a rooster which I've pictured first. The second I'm thinking rooster as well but not 100% sure. The third and fourth I think are hens. Pullets, if you want to get technical. But the last two, in not sure but leaning towards hens as well.

Penguin, suspected roo.

Peanut, hen?

Foggy, maybe hen?

And Mickie, also thinkin hen. I'm just judging by their combs at the moment since they aren't fully feathered. Thoughts?
 
It's "easier" at 6 - 8wks....We all wish there was a way to tell once they hatch but the only 100% way is waiting for that crow or egg

Some breeds are harder/take longer to mature and detect.

It looks like they're all pullets. But any other opinions? The last two pictures are the same one! The other 5 are all different!
They are 6 1/2 weeks old now.
