My bantam Cochins. 7 weeks now. NEW PICTURES =)

[jossanne]

Here's one of my cochin males at 17 days old. You can see the color of his comb.

Here's a pic of their tail fins:

And here's a close-up of a female's head, I think between 3 and 4 weeks old:

I just took some quick shots in terrible lighting, so there not as clear as I'd like. I am most concerned about the black one because his wattles are redder than the other's. Although, the yellow one has a much longer comb than he does

For some reason, the black one has not developed anywhere near the number of feathers that the yellow one has.
At the very least they are three weeks old now. They looked about a week when I got them but could have been 4-5 days.

Thank you

Do you think the black one is a boy? I'm really starting to stress out. I am praying he won't crow loudly

I have to say... it does look a little rooish.... but some can look that way and still turn out to be pullets

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Great pics!

The one of the cat is too funny!

The black one looks like a little roo to me......:\\

I've had cochins before, but never a boy.......but he does look roo-ish.

the black one is a roo, that comb and wattles are waaaay too red at such a young age

 

[rebecca10782]

Yea, I even compared spurs to see if his are bigger. He has little nubs and she doesn't have anything at all.
Well, now onto my next mission, making a rooster muffler

 

[rebecca10782]

Anyone have any idea why he is developing so slowly? Is this normal for roosters?
