Is my blue Cochin Dorothy actually a roo?

[furandfeathermom]

Hello! New backyard chicken mom here. Currently have 4 chickens, a barred rock, an Easter egger, A blue Cochin, and a black ameraucana. Currently the Cochin and Easter egger are about 5 months old and the black and barred are 4 months. Just kinda curious about my black and my Cochin, do you think they are males? No breeding behavior, no eggs just yet, but concerned about pointy feathers. TIA!!

Cochin is a definite cockerel, I can see saddle feathers coming in. Not sure about the black but looks to be a cockerel also.

Both are male.

I agree on the Cochin, definitely male! Huge red comb and wattles and obvious pointy saddles. Not entirely convinced on the black; that comb is tiny and pale and although the draping effect of the saddles is more like a cockerel, it’s not as clear as on the Cochin. The green hue to the feathers isn’t necessarily a male trait either. Can we get a heads on and side view up close of the comb on that one? Tail feathers are really misleading in those guys so I wouldn’t jump to any conclusion based solely on that... back end is saying boy and front is looking more girl.

Do Cochins normally crow by now? Neither have crowed.
