Rooster or Hen

[RoseZubal]

Hello All!
Top picture is the chick in question and the two below are showing the difference from him/her siblings. These are Partridge Cochin's and someone came by and said we have rooster but there are no spurs yet. They are 2 months old. Does anyone know how old chicks need to be to get spurs?

Yep, the top picture is your cockerel. Cochins are a very slow maturing breed, so don't expect him to really look or act like a roo anytime soon. Mine got their spurs sometime around a year old, maybe a bit later.

Really? We have 2 hen adult Cochin's. Now I'm concerned because we already have a rooster and we got 3 more so he had more hens. Now what should I do now that I have two roosters?

X2 that top one is 100% rooster. You can ask about rehoming them here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/67/buy-sell-trade and here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/16182/animals-in-need-of-free-re-homing
