UPDATE: 2 weeks later for 4 1/2 week Cochins -- Lots of pics!

[acrossthebranch]

I'm holding out hope that I at least got one maybe two pullets in my straight run cochins from Cackle. The first pictures I uploaded were at 4 1/2 weeks old. I've now added 7 week pictures above the older ones.

1 - Large Buff

2 - Small Buff

3 - Small White

4 - Silver-laced -- first to feather in of all of them.

5 - Splash/blue1

6 - Splash/blue2 -- my buddy! I really want this one to be a pullet.

7 - Partridge1 - I don't even have to ask! And he BITES!

8 - Partridge2

9 - Partridge3

10 - Partridge4 -- mostly feathered, larger

11 - Partridge5 -- mostly feathered, smaller

4-11 Look like most could be Roo

I had many look like Pullets them at 5.5 weeks over night they got really red an combs too.....so hard to tell, just going off what mine looked like at that age that ended up being roo even though everyone said pullet

4, 5, 7 and 11 are roo's. Those are my guesses.

Wait one more week

. I've got cochins too and at 5 weeks old tomorrow it's pretty dang obvious I have 4 boys and 2 girls...Oi vey. I should NEVER take up gambling!

Thanks y'all. I'm going to wait it out. I got so many Cochins just in case I got a lot of roos, so it's okay if I've got some! I will still try to keep some of the nice ones. My current Welsummer rooster is headed for the pot -- he keeps flogging me!

Number 2 is PULLET....MAYBE # 6...Rest are ROO

Seems to be for most people that everyone is getting ROO's this year...last year was pullets, this year is ROO's

 

[hokankai]

Yeah....2 looks like the only pullet to me. At 7 weeks my cochin pullets do not have any comb or wattles except for their little yellow ridges. Maaaaaybe 6...but I do see wattles and a comb there

Number 2 is definitely a pullet she looks very lady like and possibly number 6 is a pullet too . All the rest look like the may be roos , i have orpingtons which look similar and the boys had bright red combs and wattles by 6 weeks and at 12 weeks the hens still have tiny pale combs and wattles. Number 4 looks like he/she will turn out pretty
