Guess time will tell. I'm figuring all the young pullets should be laying my mid month likely.

ETA: How big does a cochin pullets comb get anyway? Combs on my 3 are getting redder but not much bigger really. Anyone have pictures that I could compare mine to?


Mine have different sized combs. This hen is about a year old.

Liz Lacey is sweet, comical, good natured, charming, and everyone's favorite. Plus she is a great layer.  We hope she'll be with us for many years to come, even after her laying days are over.  Here is a link to a short video of her running...

Thanks for your input and advice. I checked and couldn't find a gap anywhere--she's got so many feathers in there it was hard to get to her skin at all.

Have you separated the feathers at the joint to see if there is an unfeathered gap right at the bend of the wing? If there is, then it will never be correct, but if you can see a feather trying to come in at that location she could well be OK.

I really love our buff cochin. Unfortunately, he is a roo. We can't have a rooster in our flock, and are selling him and a Golden Polish roo. I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone in Maryland was interested. I'm on the Eastern Shore.

He will be 11 weeks tomorrow. :)

I'm loving my little homestead. 3 RIR Bantams, 1 Golden Polish roo, 1 Black Australorp, 1 Buff Cochin roo, 3 Blue Andalusians, 1 Splash Blue Andalusian, and 2 Silver Spangled Hamburgs.

He is hatched from eggs from Lucky Pickens birds so he should be pure even if he's not the best quailty there is.

Want to buy good quality bantam Cochins in Mille Fleur, Splash and Mottled. Will pay to ship the right birds.

remove the [img] tags...  then the link will show up correctly.

 

but if you use the image button, you can paste the link to the pic and it will show it up, or if it's local on your computer then use the 'my computer' button and just navigate to it in the directory system

Welcome to the Zoo!  2 Morgans, 2 Minis, 1 Standard Poodle, 3 cats, 3 pet birds and the chickens.

Dorkings and bantam Cochins mostly, with a few others here and there.

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.
