Hello All!
New member, but been raising chickens for a decade. Recently obtained 4 Cochin chicks to add to my flock but I am not good at sexing them (( they are so flufy) completely drawing a blank) any pointers?

Hello and Welcome to BYC. Glad to have you here in this Poultry Loving Community. Can you post some pictures of them? I'm not a Cochin owner but others on here are and may can help you out.

Welcome to BYC, Wendy! I have bantam cochins, but have never had standard size cochins. With the bantams, you can almost always tell by 6 weeks if they are male.
