Roo or Hen? Blue Cochin

[Littlemadonna]

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have had some hatchlings gifted to me. We are not allowed Roosters in our area so I'm trying to determine what these are. I have 5 hatchlings. 1 I am 100%sure is a Salmon faverolles Rooster. I have a very unique frizzle naked neck, an Easter egger, a blue cochin and a bantam cochin. My blue cochin is very fluffy but is starting to get a comb and wattle. They will be 6 weeks this Friday.

I'd say cockerel too. But hey, maybe he'll surprise us.
Also, !
I'm sure you'll find this forum very helpful.

I'm really hoping it's not a rooster. It's my favorite one of the 5. So very friendly and pretty.

Six weeks with a comb that red? I'm thinkin' you may need a blue feeder, not a pink one!
Regardless, Cochins are SO pretty! It's too bad you can't keep roos. I really love my bachelor flock ... there's so much eye candy to go along with the extra noise!
On a more positive note ... it's nice to have you here on BYC. There are a lot of awesome people here to bounce ideas off of, to share ups and downs with, and sometimes just to vent alongside. We're all here to learn, then we get to share the lessons with everybody else. We have an awful lot of chuckles along the way, too. We all hope you'll stay awhile ... just pull up a roost and settle in.
