Hello! I got three cute Cochin bantam mixes recently. I thought they were all pullets, but I am questioning this blue Cochin a bit based on behavior, but maybe just mama-henning the others? Lol. What do you think? About 6 1/2 weeks old. When I got them, there were 2 just like this and the other had a much more prominent comb at 4 weeks old, so this led me to believe I had a better chance of this being a pullet. Thanks!

Looks like a pullet to me. Cochin bantam males tend to show big combs early.
Ok thanks! I agree but sometimes it’s hard to tell! This little guy pictured here was one of my other Cochins bantams when about the same age and it was def noticeable that he was a roo, so I thought I guessed right with my blue. Thanks again!
