looking good. What color are his legs/feet? If not yellow, not to worry, going back to the Blacks will infuse the yellow pigment.

Craig, I just shipped a pair of SB's and a pair of Blacks to a fellow in GA and he's going to work on them. Likewise, I am sending at least a couple males to Doddie Truedson in a couple weeks so we'll have some on the West Coast. Linda Blackman has expressed interest and I plan to get some to...

Gail, I've found it depends on the variety. Typically my Blacks and Whites look like little miniature versions of their future selves once they feather out with their first set of feathers. So do the Barreds. Buff are completely different. Very leggy as immature birds and fill in later...

Gail, Green band ckl, and white band pullet. Those will be your two best marked birds. I realize they are 3/4 GL, but you are seeing complete lacing on both so those would be the two I'd definitely keep. You may want to let some of the pullets grow out a while to evaluate type. Tom

Christie, I read back through a couple of your posts to where you stated what you had on hand and that you had separated ckls and pullets. My recommendation as far as breeding matchups. I'd try the following breedings. Blue A ckl x Black Am pullets Splash A ckl x Black Am pullets Black Am...

thanks Walt. Fun birds to work with. Tom

I thought I'd post a couple photos of this year's birds. The Dark ckl and I had just jogged around the yard for a couple minutes. Actually he had jumped off the bale of straw and I was trying to catch him. Deceptively quick, at least short term. They wear out fast though! He was too tired...

I thought I'd provide an update. This is the oldest cockerel from this year's hatch. f5 cockerel - 5 1/2 months old.

Based upon feathering, looks like 2 cockerels and 2 pullets, (one blue cockerel, one splash cockerel). RE: Vulture hocks. At 3 weeks I'd say it's too early to tell. The hocks are one of the first places that Cochins start to feather out. I'd be more concerned at this point about what...

2012 Cockerels - 4 months old The other birds in the photos are Buff Orpingtons, Black Wyandottes, Black Cochins and Buff Cochins.

The blue birds in those photos are pullets, although the one in the back that you are asking about isn't a Cochin. It doesn't have any feathers on its legs.

Hopefully, you have a good hatch Christie! As an FYI for those reading this thread, we had to do a little extra work to ship to Christie, given that she is in Hawaii. We had to send in a permit request to the Hawaii Dept of Ag. They mailed me the permit, which needed to be affixed to the...
