Gender identity help for a Blue Cochin

[finnleywren]

This one is 4 weeks old. I’ve never seen a chick like this. Quite the looker. It is a large Blue Cochin. I’m guessing perhaps a Frizzle? I got the egg at a local farm The comb developed early. Late to feather but I’ve read that’s a Cochin trait. Pretty certain this is a roo.

Any thoughts?

Likely a cockerel.

No idea, but I'd love to see him/her grown up!!! Following in hopes!

Same. Reeeeeally hoping it is a she. If not I’ll have to rehome. It would be surprising but sometimes they fool us.

I agree with Sourland. The comb is large for 4 weeks and he already has wattles. Better make plans to rehome him.
