Hello fellow chicken people!

[Colette2119]

Hi all!
First time raising a flock! I have 7 chickens 5 are about 6-7 weeks old I believe. I did get them from tractor supply so unsure clearly of their age, two were from a local feed store sapphire lover egger and a jersey giant that are about 4 1/2 weeks old (separated for now) . I was curious on possibly the sex of what I think is a molted bantam Cochin, this one was from Tractor supply in the bantam bin! I’m hoping he/she is a hen I know it may be too early to tell, definitely a confident little one so far, but not really educated on bantam breed identifications

Hiya, Colette, and welcome to BYC! I can only guess. Maybe someone else knows your breed better than me but that looks like a pullet, no?

I was thinking the same, I feel like she would have more of a prominent comb even at 7 weeks. Definitely noticing as a first time chicken parent the anxiousness of awaiting the gender haha. Although I do miss the fluffy stage.

Welcome to BYC, Collette. It does not look like my mottled cochins, but it does look like a pullet to me.

Welcome to BYC, Collette. It does not look like my mottled cochins, but it does look like a pullet

It was kinda a guess on my part what she may be based on closest looking bantam colors, so I’m sure she’s just an interesting little mix! But I’ll keep an update when it gets a little older! Thank you and I think and hope ur right!
