Just found out that two of my four chicks are cockerals, so they're going back to the breeder, and now I'm paranoid about my other two :(
I have a buff cochin and a light sussex here, very suss about the Cochin. She/he is quite skittish, and is always the first to chirp at danger and alert the others, even before my two confirmed cockerals. Light Sussex is around 7-8 weeks old, Cochin is about 6 weeks. Here's some pics, what do you guys think?





Light Sussex: thinking pullet?

Buff Cochin: I'm thinking cockeral

And yes, the Brahma and Pekin in the background are boys lol
 
Sussex was a pullet, Cochin a cockeral, just as I thought. I ended up with 3 cockerals and 1 pullet from my 4 chicks lol...
