I know this is an old post but did you ever figure it out? I have a hen with a swollen abdomen but she acts fine and is still laying eggs. I'm pretty attached to her as well.
I bought a chick at the farmers market that was supposed to be a splash cochin. I'm guessing he is mixed with legbar but was curious if anyone had any ideas.
I got a couple of chicks at the farmers market. One of them was supposed to be a cochin. I've never had a cochin but I'm pretty sure this ain't it 😂 think it's a barnyard mix? We call it turkey because I was almost convinced it was a turkey when it was younger. I'm going to guess it's a boy.
