Sexing Bantam Cochins

[Cheekychook12]

My 2 week old ISA Brown definitely a pullet started acting like a cockeral today so I can't judge attitude.

Fair enough, I think you’ll be able to tell for sure in a week or two

True but I am impatient. Also I am hoping to move them outside to the big bird brooder but they are all feathering in so slowly. All my others chickens have feathered in much faster then these little ones. Even the chicks 2 weeks younger have caught up except for the silkies.

I agree that your mottleds are cockerels. I also think partridge 2 is one and the last cochin might be a standard hen that got placed with the other bantam Cochins because she looks like them. I’ve seen that happen before and standards are usually sexed plus she doesn’t have much of a comb.
