Really? Mine always showed within a month and a half who was male. Or do you mean the breeding and crowing take longer?Absolutely a cockerel. Cochins are notoriously slow to mature

They're pretty commonly known to be slow to mature, similar to other large breeds. Breeding, crowing, feathering, and other sex traits are just typically slower. Some lines may be quicker than others howeverReally? Mine always showed within a month and a half who was male. Or do you mean the breeding and crowing take longer?
Huh. I must just be lucky not having to worry for monthsThey're pretty commonly known to be slow to mature, similar to other large breeds. Breeding, crowing, feathering, and other sex traits are just typically slower. Some lines may be quicker than others however
Do you have Bantam or LF?Huh. I must just be lucky not having to worry for months
They were mostly bantams and one large boy. But my ones that were only 3/4 showed within a month who was a boy tooDo you have Bantam or LF?
The bantams generally are quick to show gender. The pullets are slow to mature, however.They were mostly bantams and one large boy. But my ones that were only 3/4 showed within a month who was a boy too
ROO.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?
Agreed.That’s a clear roo if I ever saw one...why don’t you believe them?
It is not neccssarilly size that matters, he is more matue am I right.My other rooster is the little black and brown frizzle. He is only 2 pounds!
Yes he is definitely a roo. He was crowing this morning again.ROO.
Agreed.

Thank you! He is for sale if you want himI love that little brown frizzle!
