My Gold Laced Bantam Cochin "Pullet or Rooster"

[Marthab1953]

Pullet or Rooster on this Gold Laced Bantam Cochin? Hatched August 26 2011 all the rest of the chicks hatched around that date have shown which sex they were a long time ago but this one I always thought was a pullet, now I think it might be a rooster by the way it is growing and the way it looks, still not much of a comb or wattles yet. And all the other young roosters have been crowing and I have not noticed it crow yet. I have noticed the last few days that the Saddle feathers are looking a little pointed by its tail.

they are 3 months old as of yesterday...the pointedness of the saddles is from the pattern on the chick saddles look just like hackles long slinder and pointed and i dont see any saddle development yet. now it looks like this chick is developing roo hackles. not all the roos will crow if they arent the domanat roo.

it looks like you might have a little roo by the looks of the feathers if you go by the comb and wattles then it looks like a hen add in the tail which is also henish

my guess would be a hen

if you are still unsure by jan. repost pics after jan 26th (5 months old)

Thank you! I will take another picture after Jan 26th, and put it back on here,

I thank everyone for their responses! I have thought it was a pullet all along till lately, so hope she is a pullet. Either would be fine, but I do have too many roosters right now. So hopefully a pullet.

Thank you I really think it is very pretty. I only have one other Bantam Gold laced Cochin, she is kind of faded out after several years. This one is soo much darker colored.​
