We are new to raising chickens and have found we have a similar problem....our 5 month old blue cochin doesn't look or act sick but when we pick him up is extremly thin...can feel his breast bones and no meat on him (sorry I don't know all of the correct terms). I am curious how this turned out...

Settler'sDreamFarm : I just love cochins!!! I have 10 bantam buff cochins, some male some female, they are only 5 weeks old. We are new to raising chickens and received these two bantam buff cochins for my daughter's 4-H project. Not sure if they are boys or girls and thought you or someone...

We have two Buff Cochins. I'm pretty sure Sunny is a girl but are unsure of what Honeymustard is... Please Help! Sunny - Girl? Honeymustard - Boy or Girl?

Quote: They don't do it while I am watching. How long does it take them to grow back. Wanting to show them for 4-H in Aug.

Thank you Southerbelle! I missed those inserting picture directions somewhere. I think the white polish is a roo, the Buff (is this the right color name?) is pullet and the black/white polish is pullet also These are the two roosters, I think. Is the Cochin (Pepper) color blue? Is Sunny...

Quote: I did upload the pictues but can't figure out how to insert the pictures into my post.

Quote: What is the difference between bantams and standards...we have some we got for 4-H and probably need to know...I assumed ours were bantam as they look the same as the ones posted at the top of this thread.

I forgot to mention they are a little over 3 months old.
