Standard Cochins, Pullets or Cockerels?

[Aapomp831]

The bantams are just easier all the way around. Partridge would absolutely be handy to sex early.

Well I only knew what he was and what sex he was bc of this site. I got them back when I was a serious newbie. Great chickens though - most docile rooster I’ve ever had; he actually was a nanny to a chick one time. Ok enough about me didn’t mean to take over this thread!

I think they are both pullets. I have cochins. I don't see any saddle feathers on either chicken?

They are more obvious on the first one, but are just barely poking out on the second.

Male specific color and feathering.

I feel like saddles would be obvious at 16 weeks, though?

Usually, but these birds are a tad late.

There are a few saddles you'd have to zoom in to see. Overo circled them.

Cochins tend to show their saddles a bit later than most. Probably due to the fact they are slow to mature, and all that floof hiding them.
