Cochin

They between 6 and 8 weeks old. Excuse the missing feathers...I sold the chicken the other day that was doing that!!

They are bantams and vary in size although they were 2d old when I got them. I am pretty sure they are Barred Rocks. Thee 2nd one is darkest as in the picture. Can anyone help with their sexes?

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
