Marans & Cochin: Do I finally have my Roo?

[Ellie]

Well, how time flies. These little tykes are 6 weeks old. Do you think I have one or two roosters? My history is that I hardly ever get roosters. Hey, maybe it is time!

Looks like a pair, Ellie, but the Cochin on the right seems it could go either way. They have smaller combs than Marans anyway. The slow feathering is usually a male trait, but not always.

You know, this marans is much slower to feather than the last one. The last one was fully feathered in a month or so. This one is sure taking it's time.
