    Bantam Cochin gender

    So I was told you can tell gender of Cochins based on wing feather. Not sure it’s actually true but I’m curious. I have pictures of my 7 bantam Cochins attached. Curious what everyone thinks and if you can actually tell gender by wing feathering.

    Orpington gender

    I’m not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard you can tell orpingtons genders early. Any guesses? Sadly based on feathering and leg size I’m thinking all roos but one.

    I have some very distinct feather length in my 5 orpingtons that hatched. Is it possible to tell gender in Orpington based on wing feathers? Only asking because there is a big difference.

    Air sacs on pointy side

    Just peaked at a few of my shipped bantam Cochin eggs and the ones I checked the air sacs are all on the pointy side.

    Genetic question

    Ok I'm starting to get the blue/ black splash genetics but now I have another question. I currently have eggs for True blue bantam cochins and blue/black mottled cochin in my incubator. Since they are shipped eggs I'm not sure what type of hatch I will get so will probably combine them. Can...

    Isabelle Brahma question

    I’m looking to get some hatching eggs for some Isabelle Brahmanas. I’ve attached a picture of the rooster. This lady has beautiful birds but I’m a bit concerned about the feathering on the rooster. Should I be? How will this translate to chicks? I am looking to breed them in the future.

    Breed and egg question

    I bought this girl as a chick through Hoovers. She is supposed to be a sapphire olive egger. She is only 14 weeks and two days which I know is young so I’m hoping that the egg color might change. Or is she actually not a sapphire olive egger like I was told? If she is a sapphire olive egger...
