I hatched this partridge cochin, he/she Keeley is about 2 weeks old which I know is early, I just wondered if anyone could recognize any roosterish feathering or comb formations in the pics.






Last week1 and a half weeks


Thanks in advance for any help or expertise that you offer

I hope its a hen, are there any partridge cochin people out their who might know?

It is a bit young to tell, but that comb looks a bit large for a pullet of this age. I would recommend posting new photos in 2-3 weeks. By then, it should be relatively obvious as to whether your chick is a he or she.

The comb is a little large for a pullet. As of now, though, there are no other glaring rooster traits. Once her/his breast feathers are grown in, we'll be able to tell better. Male partridge cochins differ significantly from females in color pattern. Post some more photos in a few weeks; we'll be able to tell better with an older bird. What ever "its" gender, "it" is very cute!

Thanks for your expertise, this is my first partridge Cochin, I love the feather pattern, and ( same old story

) I am holding out hope for a hen.... but yes, I definitely will wait a couple of weeks like 4-6? And post some more pics of our little bird.

UPDATE : NEW PICS PARTRIDGE COCHIN ROO OR PULLET?

I can see some really pink wattles coming through and at that age I would have to say male.

UPDATE : NEW PICS PARTRIDGE COCHIN ROO OR PULLET?

That comb is getting redder, and I'm seeing some wattles. So, I'm going to have to say cockerel. But I'd wait a few more weeks, and then post new photos to be sure.

I agree, the color pattern of your bird is that of a pullet, not a cockerel. So, despite the comb being somewhat red, I'm going to say pullet.
