White Cochin (hen or roo)?

[Tmartin7711]

This is Winter my White cochin. She was born August 10th and is 20 weeks old. I bought her from a online hatchery as a female, but of course she crowed. I sent the hatchery a picture and they said winter is a rooster, I may just be crazy, but I don't believe it. I do have a frizzle rooster, but Ms. Winter is the head hen. She is a 6 pound chicken. She does have long hackle feather, but she is VERY quiet. Is Winter a hen or rooster?

I believe I see saddle feathers. Rooster.

That’s a clear roo if I ever saw one...why don’t you believe them?

Winter is very quiet. I have another rooster that does everything a rooster does, but Winter has only crowed. Nothing else.

Proabbly because you have a more dominant rooster.

My other rooster is the little black and brown frizzle. He is only 2 pounds!

Winter has male specific feathering. I'm sorry

The size of the dog in the fight matters not. What does matter is the size of the fight in the dog.

Thats a male. Females are just a bit different shaped

Very handsome cockerel

 

[FuzzyCritters]

Definitely a cockerel. A pullet will not crow or grow long saddle feathers. The reason for him being quiet is probably because you have a dominant rooster (yes, bantams can be dominant).
