Story of my life!
I will get some better pictures tomorrow. I actually just got these babies, so those were just quick snaps of them.
Your pullet is beautiful!
Can someone tell me what color my cochin chicks will turn out to be? These 2 are stumping me. They came from blue rooster and blue hen so I was assuming I'd get blue, black or Splash. These are my first babies from this pair but these babies colors look so different than any b/b/s chicks I've...
That's funny! Quite the opposite happened to me with a LF cochin I have. The comb had no color to it the wattles started turning reddish long before the comb did. Everyone thought he was a she but he is a he... 😅
I think the fact that I am so impatient makes it seem slower than what it actually is. Haha. I have 2 little bantam cochin/silkie roosters that are my little buddies. They stick together like brothers. So cute. But yes, I could tell with them pretty easily and early that they were both cockerels.
Yes, the last 3 pictures are a different bird than the first 3. (There's only 1 black).
You are SO right about the bantam and the LF being very different. The LF take FOREVER to mature it seems. Oh but I love them 🥰
For awhile I thought the black one was the only roo but then the others caught up to it and confused me. Lol now it looks more like a hen than the others. Standard Cochin take so long to let us know for sure. Haha
