Roo or Ruse, Part 4: Extended Edition

[thecatumbrella]

Clover is now 10 weeks-old. She's a mottled cochin bantam. Her only roo-like quality this entire time has been her overly red comb. She is the most quiet, calm and polite one in the bunch. I'm almost convinced she's a pullet at this point, but what do you think? Roo or ruse? I'll attach her sisters, Flora and Hornet, for comparison.

Looks like a pullet so far to me

Did she end up being a pullet? I’m in a similar situation with my two 10 week old bantam cochins! The comb and wattles size has stayed the same for the last three weeks and there is nothing roo-ish about either of them.

yours look like both pullets, but i'm not sure since i rarely ever see frizzles and their feathers are a little harder to tell. Anyway I really really want some frizzle bantam cochins, where did you get them? Everywhere I look they're really expensive. They're so precious!

I hope so! We got lucky and our Rural King had them in their assorted bantam bin.

Nice! So you were able to tell that they were cochins, and they're frizzled?

They were the only ones with feathered feet in the bin and they already had some frizzle coming in

She is 14 weeks and the others are starting to catch up in the comb and wattle department, so I'm like 99.999% positive she's a pullet! It seems like this breed is a little more difficult to sex (though I have seen a lot of males that are clearly males very early!)

Good for you!!! She's a very pretty girl!
