I have a white LF cochin. Approx. 14 weeks old/a little over 3 months. I don't know what gender it is.

Comb: slightly more red than the 3 pullets I know I have, teeniest bit larger

Wattles: look the same as the pullets, still small and tight

Stance: Same as other pullets, no difference noted

Hackles: round feathers

Saddle: round feathers

Tail: pointed and round feathers, when first feathered out had a nice little "bump" in the tail like show stock is supposed to have

Bheavior: Nothing roo like noted. No crowing, no finding food for hens, no mounting. Only flared hackle feathers at our EE cockerel. The big blue pullet is clearly dominant.


We did have a partridge cockerel that was the same age that had pointed tail, saddle and hackle feathers, had a noticeable larger comb and wattles and was a lot more upright.

This picture was taken at about 8 weeks old. I don't have an updated one since our camera isn't working
