Pullet

I hope you’re right!! What makes you say pullet?

I could very well be wrong on yours. Cochins tend to develop combs/wattles very early. I would think it would be redder for a male but then again I just saw were you said no more than 6 weeks old. Mine is about 6 weeks old now and has more comb/wattle development that is redder. However, looking at pics the red isn’t as obvious as it is person. So yours may also be darker that what the pictures show. This is Harry and he is 6-7 Weeks old

Looks like a hen because Pekin roosters have a wider comb when they are younger (For my Pekins anyway) also it's body shape looks like one of a Pekin hen. But then again the legs are giving me Rooster Vibes

I really can't say for sure, especially since unknown age and nothing to compare, but I don't see anything yet that would discount it being a pullet... And so pretty, that it just ought to be a girl! What do they call that color in the UK and what color were the parents? (just for my personal info).

Oh, I'm sorry, you said in 1st post it was a Millefleur (but still I haven't seen one quite like that). It is a beautiful bird.

Whoah what a cutie, and look at that comb!! What a beautiful boy

Heya, it’s not a true Millefleur, the guy that bred it tries to develop his own colours so it’s a bit of all sorts really!!

I agree it’s very pretty indeed, I love the black back on the light buff colouring

I know what you mean about the legs but I’ve got a 5 month old Pekin pullet with rooster legs lol!

I'm just wondering exactly how he came up with that... There was an interesting bird on a thread in Australia that was unusual, but can't remember if it quite resembled this one or not...
