Red cochin bantam wattle at 3 weeks old??

[Hannahnic14]

I'm pretty sure this is a roo. Out of all 4 of my cochin bantams this is the only one that has developed a wattle and has a larger comb! Is it common for bantams to start showing those signs this early? (3 weeks old)

First 2 pics is our suspected roo.
The others I think are hens. Maybe too early to tell??

I am pretty sure the one you suspect is a rooster is a male.

I agree.
My cochin bantam cockerel got red very early. I started suspecting he was a boy at about 2 weeks old. This was him at about 3-4 weeks.

Sure hope you wanted a cockerel- with his comb and tiny wattles I think you have a boy... They're sure pretty little guys- please follow up on this thread when you 100% determine his sex- we can all learn something!!

Thanks! I didn't know they could develop that early.

Update on the cochin bantams!

They are 5 weeks old now and I for sure have 1 Rooster. (Reagan, the first 2 pics)
But am wondering if I have a second? (The last 2 pics) this one's comb was yellow when it was running around but then turned red when I picked up because it got flustered. Lol What do you guys think???

Cockerel.

Will do! And yes, we were hoping for a cockerel for our bantam flock! Now hopefully my 3 silkies are pullets lol
