Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

Thank you for your help! You've confirmed my suspicions... Is it the early wattle & comb development that makes you think male?

Yes, you might have more males in there but time will tell.

3ish weeks old. Leghorn. Any idea

Too young, but leaning towards male. Definitely not 100% because of age.

I promised I would post more pics of them, so... Here they are! Here is Dr. Suess/ Dr. Suess-ete!

Pretty pullet!!

It looks like a roo to me

Agreed, definitely male.

So this is 1 of the 3 bantams I got breed unknown.
4 to 5 weeks. If you want to guess the sex feel free, but I'm more interested in what y'all think the breed is?
Thanks for any help.

Bantam # 2. Looking for breed confirmation, was told maybe a buff cochin?? Also 4 to 5 weeks old.

And 3rd and last mystery bantam.

Possibly Black Rosecomb?

Sounds right. This one is a cockerel.

And 3rd and last mystery bantam.

Not sure on this one right now.

Please post pictures when they're older to confirm.

I'd almost lay money on this being a black Japanese bantam. Very beautiful, calm birds. I have 14 of them. The feet and beak are supposed to be yellow but I have had some with dark feet and beaks. Sweet birds just not SOP. My cockerels usually have evidance of a comb by this age also. I'm saying pullet.

This one looks like a white old English game. Another beautiful bird.
My gold laced and self blue OEG at this age had a sliver of dark pink /red comb. I'm saying pullet.

Hens or Roos?

Thanks FarmGal. Can I ask what it is about the cochin that let's you know it's a cockerel? And if you know, when sexing a bantam do you look for the same traits that you would in a large fowl?
