Pullet or Cockerel lavender Cochin?

[Creede]

Here is a four week old lavender Cochin. The tail feathers aren’t coming in like other chicks. The comb is larger in comparison. The legs seems to be thicker. This chick tends to square up to other chicks more so than anyone else. Do I have a cockerel on my hands or is there still a possibility of a pullet?

The comb is suspicious, but it's too early to say anything definite. I think the chick is blue rather than lavender.

So your saying there’s a chance, haha. I purchased this chick from TSC, so no telling. Are blue Cochins rare? I’m new to the chicken world

I think so. You should know soon. Cochin males tend to color up early in their combs.

Blue Cochins are not as rare as lavender, but they're just as pretty. Lavender is lighter and more even in color than this chick. But it's just my opinion. Others may have other ideas.

Great info. I’m happy with either, just hoping for a Pullet. Thank you
