Is this Bantam Cochin A ROO?

[backswamp]

It is about a year old. Is it a Roo?

Looks like a hen to me.

 

[Ms. Lewis Rich]

It looks like a nice girl to me.

Would be crowing if the bird is a year old and a roo

 

[ThePolishPrincess]

Hmm, I'd say hen.

 

[backswamp]

Great! I think I will get her. I like the way she looks.

 

[Smartie_Pants]

That's a hen. She doesn't have pointy saddle or hackle feathers, he wattles are relativly small, and she would be crowing by now if it was a roo.

 

[gritsar]

Yeah, what smartie pants said.

Is it bearded or is it just my eyes ??

Looks like a hen

 

[jossanne]

I think I'm seeing a beard and muff too! Makes you go hmmmm...

Here is another pic of the chicken in question. What does it mean if it does have a beard and or muff (it looks to have both)? Is that more of a breed characteristic or does it mean it is a roo.
