Roo or Hen? Blue Cochin

[feathermaid]

Don't give up hope just yet... try to wait until the feathers are more pronounced. If long pointy hackle and saddle feathers show up along with the longer curved rooster tail, then you'll know. I had a pullet that turned bright red super early with big wattles and I was sure she would be a boy, but nope, she's a girl.

Though this one has the telltale red wing bars coming in:

Would you like to see the other 2 I got? I didn't get the best pics. One I'm told is an Easter Egger. The other is supposedly a Bantam Cochin. Both have feathered feet. Nothing like the blue cochins feet though

That one I'm sure is a cockerel. With that breed the females are light. Only the males get the dark feathers. The Blue Cochin I'm still hoping it's a girl the hens also get red combs and wattles like the roos. The combs just don't grow as big.

This one I'm told is a bantam cochin.

This is my Easter egger.

The Cochin and the Faverolle are cockerels. The naked neck is a pullet.

Agreed.

The last two pictured chickens both look like pullets but neither is the breed you said. I don't know what it is but the "Bantam Cochin" isn't a Cochin because her feet are white. The light makes it hard to to see other features.

Your EE is a Buff Brahma.

Thank you so much for identifying my EE. I'm happy you were able to tell! I can post a few more pics of the other one.
