    Lemon Blue Splash Cochin

    Hello! I have just recently got some lemon blue splash bantam cochin eggs and have them popped in the incubator yesterday. I am beyond excited for these eggs but I think I might have a silly question. From what I understand of Blue/Black/Splash you obviously will default to black or blue if the...

    I just hatched these two today and am really puzzled by their color. Mom is a white frizzle and dad is either a birchen or buff cuckoo. Anyone seen any like them before?

    Hatching from beyond the Grave

    A couple of weeks ago my favorite hen, Mumbles, flew the coop while I was at work and something got her.

I got her mostly to just keep him company but then I got to thinking about next spring. The gal I got the hen from said that she uses her hens...

    14 day old Cochin Chicks (and 1 Olive Egger)

    So reading around it sounds like Cochins can be sexed way younger than I thought? If so then what are your thoughts? I am thinking the frizzle is a hen, the buff is a roo, and the black is ??? the olive egger also hatched with them so no clue if that’s a boy vs girl or too early to tell yet
