Im not good at early identifying Roos vs hens. Tell me what you think! They were all purchased from TSC at the end of April.

1st: lavender Orpington (I think Roo)
2nd: Wyandotte that they told me was an australorp lol (I also think Roo but I really don’t know)
3rd: light Brahma bantam (I think pullet)

The Wyandotte and Orpington I’m almost 100% sure are pullets. However as for the bantam chick I got… I still don’t know what breed it is or if it’s a roo or not. I think it’s some kind of Cochin. We call him/her Sheldon. Lol about 3 months old now.

Lavender Orpington a rooster but Golden Laced Wyandotte and Light Brahma Bantam also a pullet
The Orpington and Wyandotte are definitely pullets. They are about 3 months old now and their gender seems pretty obvious at this point. But the bantam I posted I don’t think is a Brahma bantam like I thought. I think it’s a type of Cochin. Very fluffy not like brahmas I’ve seen elsewhere. Idk if it’s a pullet or roo. But it has a way more developed comb/wattles. So I’m leaning toward Roo

Glad you have at least 2 girls. 🙂

I think you are right about that bantam not being a Brahma.
The comb is definitely wrong: Brahmas have pea combs, while Cochins have single combs.
I think it is probably a Columbian Cochin.

Here is an article that has some photos of Columbian Cochins:

Like you, I am leaning toward it being male, but I'm not entirely sure.
