    Sexing my Lavender Bantam Cochins

    Well without the even looking at chick #1 his attitude and posture are pretty clear he is a cockerel. #2 &3 both act female but I know that at this age that means little. Hopefully it is Boy Girl Girl because I would really like to see some Lavender/ Silver Lace Crosses!!!!

    Our babies died!

    This is our first hatch & we only hatched 2 eggs. Pipped yesterday, one came out this morning & the other this afternoon. They visually had zero problems & seemed perfectly healthy in the bator.

    This is the only other photo I have for now. We have a Black Roo also and she looks nothing like him. We've checked "her" for spurs and she has none of the straight feathers that males are said to have & she is significantly smaller than him.
