Mini Mystery Chick

[WildTurkeyDoctors]

I just can’t get enough of this little squirt! He’s 5 weeks old and still fits into my hand and is mostly fuzz. Seems to be a frizzle. Has feathers all the way down to feet. Wing feathers have neat barring and I’ve heard that suggests he’s a male? Also comb is turning pinkish. He’s very active and outgoing, doesn’t get picked on and doesn’t like to be held. Hope it turns out to be a hen, but each day that goes by I’m thinking it’s more likely to go the other way.

Barred Cochin.

Thanks! You have an opinion on gender from these picks? Only 5 weeks, so likely too early to really tell?

Too early to tell on gender, but I'm getting cockerel vibes from him. I agree about the barred cochin guess.

Cockerel vibes here to.
His stance and reddening large comb at 5 weeks.
