    Cochin babies growing up!

    Cochins will sit really well on eggs they are the perfect Broodies! they certainly look like a cute couple i'd say go for it unless you notice any ill health or abnormalities as they grow

    Cochin babies growing up!

    Bantams! they look almost exactly like my two if they are the same age then yeah one is probably a cock but if theres a chance there could be a few weeks age gap then you may have two girls, I thought for ages that I had a boy because of larger comb n wattles but a year down the line and they...

    real mixed bag!

    Not really looking for gender to be honest just an idea of what polly is breed wise, she/he seems far too large to be a pekin (cochin).

    Hen mean to black chicks

    Hi my Cochin hatched a set of eggs 2 weeks ago and loves her buff chicks but attacked the one black chick that hatched so I have her indoors with me, It's really odd isn't it! Wish I knew whether it was down to her being suprised by one odd chick?

    any ideas what this chick is?

    I'm not sure if it's a cochin because my older cochins they hatched about a 3 days earlier and are way smaller! take a look is one of the deffinate cochins is the other cochin these are the polish? and Polly is almost certainly a Roo not many feathers and a huge comb!
