Sexing Frizzle Bantam Cochin 5 weeks

[oldhenlikesdogs]

What about my little Easter Egger? From what I’m reading the coloring is that of a roo? View attachment 1812320View attachment 1812321View attachment 1812322View attachment 1812323View attachment 1812324

Give it more time. Update in another 2 weeks if possible.

Just un update for progress. Here is the suspect roo frizzle at 7 weeks.

The biggest change this week is the waddles.
Waddles have grown noticeably. They stayed about the same size the week before.
Waddle color is also a little deeper. One side before was lighter pink, now that match in color.

The comb hasn’t changed much. The flanking sides are darker pink with points still remaining yellow.

With that comb staying smaller it may be a pullet at this point.

I saw this older post and it looks a lot like mine in question at the same age and it turned out to be a girl. Time will tell! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/cochin-frizzle-bantam-male-or-female.777879/

All my little boy bantam cochins had a bright red comb by 8 weeks. There was no mistaking it. Some pullets can have a bit bigger comb which can throw off the guessing.

That pink comb would make me think rooster.

I see his spurs growing in today.

Some females will have spurs too. I've also had roosters without spurs, so it isn't always just a rooster thing.

Update: The Easter Egger started mounting the girls then few days later crowed. Here he is being a little manly man.

The frizzle hasn’t crowed or laid an egg but I’m pretty sure she’s a lady
