What gender is my bantam cochins?

[Featherland26]

The chick #3 is 4 weeks and four days old, the other two are less than a week younger. Chick #1 I think is a rooster but I am not sure about the other two they seem to be quite red the pictures does not show up the red very well.

I think you're probably right. Looks like 2 boys and a girl to me.

If they are all 4 weeks and under, those are some big combs on all three. My vote is all roos... sorry

They all look like cockerels to me.

Sometimes wattles develop at a different rate, but they all look to have similar combs.

Chick #2 has a small chance of being a pullet. The other two are definite cockerels.

Thank you for your input it means I won't get too attached to them. I will let them grow on and see who is the closest to the standard of pekin bantams, I'll only keep one if they all boys. I can't have 5 boys for 10 hens!

Yes, maybe you should keep us updated on #2 because were not 100% sure...

 

[Featherland26]

Little update, they are all cockerels now about 8-9 weeks.
