Sexing frizzle cochin and silver laced wyandotte

[angelcheex]

I have a bantam frizzle cochin that I purchased as "straight run" from Ideal. Not sure if it's a he/she! Also received 16 extra silver laced wyandottes as "packing peanuts". I think one may be a female because the comb is not red like all the other SLW.
They're all 5 weeks old.

Here are some pics. Please help!

It's the right one...

Wow, 16 SLW as packing peanuts... I'm jealous! How old are they? So far that one SLW could be a girl, but it's legs are pretty thick. So far the Cochin looks female as well.

Yeah - 16 roosters. Unfortunately I don't have the space to keep roosters, otherwise I'd be excited about having them. They're all 5 weeks old. Really hoping at least the one in question is a pullet.

Hm, at 5 weeks they could go either way

I'd keep watching them for comb/wattle development.

Is that for the wyandotte or the cochin? I thought the wyandotte comb had to be red to be a rooster? So confused!

For both! At 5 weeks the combs could still turn red. Pullet combs don't turn red until they're getting close to laying, cockerels combs usually turn red before maturity but it can be from 2 weeks to 10 weeks, it really depends on the individual. Basically, I would say pullet for the Cochin and not guessing for the Wyandotte, but those are still not 100% sure guesses.

I think both pullet but the 1st one has really thick legs
