Please sex these two cochins!

Both are roosters, in the second pic with the 2 black chickens the one in the front is definately a rooster, look at the difference in comb size compared to the hen standing next to it.

ETA notice the pointy saddle feathers coming in as well

The black one is a hen for sure. Nothing "roostery" about her.

Okay, I finally found some pictues of some Cochin roosters.. mine does look nothing like them! I'm sooooo happy... She must just be a tomboy??? Is it common for them to attempt to crow? When do the saddle feathers come in if they are to come in?? I'm not going to be surprised by any saddle feathers overnight or anything because she's young, right??

She's nearly 5 months old now.. I'm guessing she should have had them by now!?

Thank you so much for the help. My husband was convinced that she was a he too! (he knows nothing about chickens) Anyway, I showed him some pics of some roosters, and he's calling her a she now. Weird chicken.

ROOSTERS!!! Those combs are to big for pullets.

I feel like I should know what POL means, but I don't! Please explain - thank you!

The buff bird looks like a roo to me..that second one is a pullet. I have some cochin chicks that are only a week older than yours and my roo's combs are much larger.

It means point of lay. I also think the black is a rooster, it looks like my Cochin roosters do, my pullets the same age as the roosters hardly have anything at all growing on their faces.
