    Wanted in NC - cochins

    Standard or bantam hens (I'll take a roo, too, if he's nice) in central NC. I live 1/2 hour north of Raleigh and will travel within a reasonable distance.

If she turns out to be a pullet and...

    Maybe not a Maran ...

    It came from Meyer with my Maran pullets but does not look like them. At 8 days old, here are differences: 1. Beak is completely yellow (my Maran beaks are black-tipped, in varying degrees) 2. Face is pale-masked (like Mickey Mouse, though with freckles) - Marans have dark on top, light on...
