Finally!!  3 eggs in the coop this morning!!  It's been a long winter - no eggs since October . . . I was beginning to wonder if they'd forgotten how.

 

Now it's time to hunker down and get to work.

Here south of Nashville ours have been laying since Feb 2.  I want one hatch of cochin/silkies before I put them to work sitting on the guineas' eggs for the rest of the summer.  The weather keeps yo-yoing so no one wants to go broody yet.  Maybe mid-March.

Most of my pens have been laying all winter. The MF project birds especially. And they live in open tractors.

Now my precious housed whites have only started laying but the Mottleds are gaining speed and I have tons of the MF chicks and Mottled chicks hatching out.

Our winter has been very nice so far. I think the birds have enjoyed it.

Bantam Cochins are my love! Mille Fleur projects, buff barred projects and black/blue Mottled. Chickens, Guineas, Ducks, Peafowl and Meal Worms. Contact me for hatching eggs and a link to my website.

Sorry, I'm still terribly new to this new addiction of mine smile.png I am referring to blue Cochin, I thought I read about a silver variety also, but could be so wrong lol. My 16 day old babies are blues. They are so sweet and gorgeous. I was hoping to see pics of different stages of development. One is a little smaller than the other and I'd be thrilled if one was a roo. One was my " surprise mystery chick".. one I ordered. So happy with them.

Not a Cochin. Cochins are feathered all the way down the legs and the outer and middle toes are to be fully feathered.
 

 

Bantam Cochins in Black, Birchen, Columbian and Buff Columbian. Now also have Sliver Penciled and Partridge. Working on a Silver Laced Project. Gold Laced project, and now a few White and White Frizzle.

Im not to sure that bird is a Cochin. Or Partridge. If so then it is not a good quality bird.

His feathers on his legs broke off from the cold. They havn't yet to come back. his father was from mcmurray in an order of 25 cochins. He was the only roo we kept and all the other hens were all different colors. We only had cochins when he hatched and still only have cochins in that pen.
