What Gender are these 2 cochins?

[hdowden]

All are boys for sure. My cochins were very pale/small right up until week 20.
My boys combs were small at 8 weeks, but pink like this.

8 week old cochin boy.

my pullet used to look like that just the wattles were a bit smaller

I agree, his comb is not red/big enough to say boy, but the wattles are a for sure thing right there!

I do breed. I only have a single pair of the partridge cochins, and it's past breeding season now (actually my hen is broody) The male has never mated a chicken. I figure I can force him into it in spring by secluding the two of them

Here he is now all grown up @ 8 months old.

Oh wow he is a beauty. I dont have any cochins but those were next on my list for next season. I like the partrige the best, I havent had luck finding partrige here. Guess I have all winter to search huh! ?
