    Cochin chick updated 11 1/2 week photos and opinions on intergreation with old chickens and rooster.

    The first picture is of the four that I believe are pullets. The last two pictures are of the one that I believe may indeed be a cockerel. Right now, I have them in the front room of my coop.

    Blue cochin 3weeks old today do I have a cockerel?

    The chick in question has nowhere near the leg feathers as the other four. Seems to stand more upright. Even the comb doesn’t seem to be as well developed as the others. Do I just have a slow developing pullet or did I get a cockerel slipped into my pullet order. I know it’s early but any...

    Polish chicks 🐥 3 weeks old

    I wanted to post pictures of my three week old white crested Polish chicks. Before I purchased them, I tried to find pictures of baby Polish chickens and didn’t find that there were many on the forum. They are so stinking cute.
