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

I read somewhere that partridge Cochins were the hardest color to sex. The males and females are very similar. I hope you have more pullets then you think.

. I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I agree with everyone else. #2 is a pullet and maybe #6, but the rest are cockerals.

Yes, #2 Small Buff is certainly a girl - and I have a weak hope for #3 Small White - but the rest look like boys, sorry to say

I had a similar result with my hatched eBay eggs - five boys and one girl!

Just curious how your birds turned out? Did you only have 1 pullet out of those?

As far as I know! I was just looking at a new cochin thread, and folks are voting pullet for one that looks just like my buff roo. my pullet at 16 weeks still has no red on her face at all. i'm still holding out on my blue though! i'm getting rid of the partridge ones!
