Large fowl.

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.

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.
