Sexing Bantam Cochins

[ValkerieGunn]

We have 6 Bantam Cochins from TSC. 2 Mottled, 2 White, and 2 Partridge. They are about 4.5 weeks old. I think both Mottled are cockerals but would like some more opinions. I will comment the next 3.

both mottled and second Partridge stand out as cockerels to me.

So I was thinking both Mottled but what about the partridge makes you think so?

The comb is rather pink and pronounced.

To me white 2 and partridge one are your only definite girls
Edit; white one could go either way

Well I didn't notice that. Oops. I guess I was to busy looking at the red chest and neck and keeping him still.

White 1 has a attitude like a cockeral which is why I wanted opinions. White 2 is much bigger then all the others and more feathered. Also very sweet.

All my chicks with cockrely attitudes turned out to be cockerels except one, so I’d lean cockerel but that comb is still pretty pale and straight

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