Is Anne a Walter?

[ChickenChick46]

My first bantams are named after Anne of Green Gables characters. As the title states, is Anne an Anne, or a Walter?

Those wattles are concerning me. There is a little color on the comb, but it's not awful, and nowhere near as dark as my d'Uccle cockerel was at half her age. But I think cochins may mature shower than d'Uccles.

Almost 7 weeks old, red cochin bantam. Here are her pictures.

Too early to say yet, that doesn't look like much color.

It's much too early, but you're right that those waddles are coming in with some color. I'd say it's a guessing game for some more weeks, so check back when they're 10-12 weeks old and we'd be able to guess more accurately.

My initial thought is male because of the color in the wattles, but hopefully I am wrong!

Thank you! Fingers crossed! I actually don't care much either way, but I do have 7 more growing up behind this group and would love as many pullets as possible.

Thank you so much! I'll update as Anne grows.

I hope so too, lol. I love her either way, but I have 7 more growing up behind these. So as many girls as possible would be nice.
