Frizzle cochin chicks 7 weeks old. Both girls?

[My3sonsss]

First two pics are chick #1, second 2 pics are chick #2. Help!

I'm leaning towards male for both, but stronger for chick one.

I think you have one of each.

if so, I advise against breeding them. Frizzle bred to Frizzle doubles the gene and creates a chicken who has trouble growing and maintaining feathers. You'll end up with half to 3/4s naked chickens.

Both look like pullets to me, @Overo Mare, you're better at Cochin Bantams than me

Frizzled BC pullets sometimes develop early. The second one looks like it could be a cockerel, but at 7 weeks I'd expect to see a bright red comb.

I will tentatively say 2 pullets.

I believe that's a cockerel

Part of me wants to say pullet. Despite the manly wattles.

Ok. These waddles are what’s getting me. They do a very pail base and get darker pink. But def not big swollen red like I see on other pics of Roos this age.

 

[Painted Calls]

I get what you're saying. They're bigger than a pullet's should be at this age. However that comb is way small and pale for a cockerel this age.

Post updated pics in a few weeks.

I'm gonna counter that and say cockerel. Coming from me who has never raised a LF (standard) Cochin in my life, I could definitely be wrong. In my head, I think of them more like single combed Brahmas because they're both pretty slow to mature and massive birds so I assume maturity rates would be similar. I cannot speak if the way I think of them is right, but it will be interesting to see the development!

I haven't ever had LF either.
