So. This is Angela (dsquawker). I hatched some eggs this year in my incubator. Just thought I'd update my experiementation. We moved to a lower elevation. I barely added water and just turned the incubator on and let it stablize. I didn't touch a thing and hatched four chicks. I was so...
This is what my silver laced Cochin looks like so you can compare the two. I hope this helps. Yours are a little more developed than mine. Let me know if you need more photos of a specific area of the chick. Angela
Do "White Frizzle Cochins" come is Standard size? Or is it pretty well-known that they are only come in bantam size?

Welcome. Its great that you've joined us. Here's wishing you great success with your nine chickens. That's the number of hens we have too. They are all different breeds too. We love the variety. What kind do you have? Nice to meet you. Angela (dsquawker)
Hi there and nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum. You will have fun here. Red stars are fun. We have black stars at the moment and they are the biggest pullets we've ever had. They are about 7.5 pounds. They've slowed down on laying for the moment. We had a huge snow storm come through...
Interesting occurrence with your RIR. What do you think happened? Anyway, welcome and glad your here to find answers like all of us. Good luck and nice to meet you. Angela (dsquawker)
Wow sounds like you've got a house full. We use to have guppies, mollies, and platies and loved watching them give birth to their fry and loved having a tank - better than television. Anyway, welcome to the BYC forum. You'll learn tons here and we all love photos. The easiest way is to paste...
