Could Sylvia be Simon? Cochin help!

[fowl weathered friend]

Ok, I have a Cochin baby at about 4-5 weeks old and I just noticed that she has little wattles coming in. They're very small, fairly red, and she has a tiny comb. The comb doesn't have any colouring yet--not a hint of red--but I'm thinking she's a boy...

I know pics would help (duh) but the darn bird won't stay still long enough for me to get pics of her(?) comb/mini-wattles/etc! I was trying for almost an hour and gave up. She's a flapper and wiggler and fusses if she's away from the other chick.

Does anyone have any pullet and roo Cochin photos at about tis age range and slightly older that I could compare her too?
It'd be helpful to know what to look out for.
In the meantime I'm going to keep trying for a pic, but they're all blurry.
I think she knows if she's a He then she'll have to go and is sabotaging my efforts.

Methinks this one is a little man. He's a buff cochin cross at about five weeks old. Hope it helps

Ok: I managed a few pics:

EE Adrianne is in this pic with her/him whatever

She's a roo isn't she? feedback please!
Maybe the local hatchery wil take her back, or engage in a trade.
She's/He's going to be gorgeous though: standard size Cochin

It is pretty hard to tell, but it looks girly to me. My cochin roo's combs turned super red at about 5 1/2-6 weeks old. My pullets have a tiny comb too, but they are yellowish and pink wattles like your's.

Here's one of my male cochins, a bantam, at 17 days old. See how red his comb already was? I'm thinking yours is a girl...

Thanks for all your feedback! I'll keep an eye on her (fingers crossed) and let you know how it turns out! Glad to hear someone else out there has a Cochin pullet with pink wattles!

I think it is a pullet. My little cochin roos combs are much more prominent.

My Bantam Cochins are exactly the same age, with little pink/reddish wattles and yellow combs. Good to know that everyone thinks thats a girl.

I was a little worried but I have a roo the same age and well talk about a big difference.



I will be getting pics on Monday I can post to show the difference if interested.

I would ove to see pics! It'd be reassuring to know I can keep calling her Sylvia! She's bossy compared to my EE chick but I hope that's just a sign that she's an independant lady.
Thanks again for all of your help!

You can see the difference between the roo and the girls.
