This is how differently they mature. These 2 boys are both 8 weeks old, and the barred looks like he could crow any day, and the cochin is just a big docile baby.
One of my babies pipped at about 1:00 yesterday, and just hatched a couple hours ago. I thought it was going to be early to the party, but it was the last to show up!
I think it's a girl. In this picture, at the back I have 2 barred rocks. The one behind is the roo, and the front is the hen. She's much darker than him
this is what's throwing me off. The splash is the roo I ordered. Totally obvious boy, and the black is a hen I ordered. The buff is in between. This picture is a week older than the buff alone.
