I am going with Roo! What are your thoughts?

[chickenannie1]

I have two approximately 8-10 week old cochin bantam chicks. I am thinking that both are roos. What do you think?

Chick 1


Chick 2

I would think Roo definitely for #2; just b'cuz the comb is so pronounced/pink already!

X2 on that, I'm a little suspicious on the 1st one. But I could be wrong!

They look younger than 8-10 weeks to me, but yeah.. I'd go with roo on the second one for sure.

How old do they look? I am not sure how old they really are. It was more a guess at this point. Would appreciate your thoughts on that too! Thanks!!

Mine were this feathered @ 5 weeks old. They could be anywhere from 5 - 8 weeks. I would say they are under 8 weeks though.

Here is my cochin girl @ 8 weeks old for comparison

Thank you! Yes I agree they definitely look younger than yours. Thank you! I am thinking maybe around 6 weeks. You have a very pretty little cochin girl there by the way!!!

Thanks! She is a full grown girl now, and I just hatched out four of her chicks

Here she is now - all grown up!

Here is one of the four chicks - their father is a barred rock if you were wondering.
