Cockrel?

[MandyMusshafen]

I have a 7 1/2 qeek old bantam cochin and I'm just not sure about it! We have another one hatched the same day that is most definitely a cockrel (labeled B1). Here is a pic for reference.

But this other one I just can't tell. It has a pretty significant comb, but it's not red like the other's and no wattles that I can see.

Any help would be appreciated!

The comb is small enough on the second one that I'd say it's a pullet. You'd have to wait a couple more weeks to be sure, though.

I'm hoping it is! It's a cute little bird!

Update! His waddles are in and his comb is more red. Definitely a little boy!
We've been calling him Bruce Lee and he is our friendliest of the flock so we may just keep him and the 2 bantam pullets seperate from the others! I've found a home for the other bantam cochin cockrel (1st pic in OP)

It's a cockerel. Ducks waddle, chickens have wattles

Glad you're keeping him, he's beautiful, and I love his full leg feathers.

Lmao! I didn't even catch it, and I knew better!

Thanks! Me too! I'm hoping he stays as sweet as he is now! He's the only one that seems to like human interaction! I ordered a smaller coop for him and his ladies so he doesn't get beat up by the bigger roo!

My cochin banty roo holds his own against the two big ones, believe me, lol! Hope he stays friendly, too. Mine has developed quite the attitude now. Still friendly, but if he doesn't like something (like me trying to put him in the coop) he lets you know! That little beak packs a punch!

Update! 11 weeks! We've named him Bruce Lee! He's the family fave!
