Oh well. I suspected that. They will peck my hand and bully the other chicks.

I think all 3 cochins are roos and it's too early to tell on the others.

A lot of the time, you have to wait till chicks are at least 6 weeks old to determine their sex, but all three of your cochins are getting wattles and pink combs at only 4 weeks - they're boys.

2 and 3 are definate boys. 1 still has a chance at being a girl.

In the group shot C is definately a Roo. They rest need time.

What beautiful birds. They seem a little young to apply this "gender test". If so, save it until they are 4-6 weeks old. Good luck with your beautiful brood!
