She was the darkest in the bin at TSC.
but now she appears 50% white/black. And comb and waddles are a little pronounced and pinkish.
Male or female? She’s huge compared to my other 3 chicks.
6 weeks old.
not too sure how to tell male from female barring.
thank I’m advance.

While that is a bit more wattle than I'm comfortable with, the comb is actually pretty small and pale yet. Male Cochins are usually sporting quite a large red comb by now.

You should know in another couple of weeks. If male, that comb will sprout up noticeably.

Hi! I love finding out these old questions - what did this chick come out to be? Pullet or Roo?
