Could those be considered "Self Blue" Cochins?
Here yes, not in france. BTW yours are so so so much better than ours
I actually do not know if they are self blues or lavender , but I assumed they were lavender.
What makes them better? can you tell that I know nothing about "type"?
I tried my hand at chicken portraits today
I'm no artist but I love my Faverolles so much I wanted to immortalize them
(and incase anyone asks: the wooden chickens are Ostheimer toys, except for the little Fav cockerel which was a special order from an Etsy shop)

yes, they are both pullets. Cochins in general are pretty slow to develop. Large Fowl even more so. Where did you get these pullets? Just curious. They appear to have good color, although a bit leggy, and the one appears to be a little stiff in the hock feathers. Something to...
Here are my girls (I think) at 3 months old - not the greatest of pics I know LOL
They are my absolute favorites among my chickens, however they are soo small still, nowhere near the size of the adult bantams I've seen. Is it normal for this breed to take a long time to mature? They still...

I've got a LF Salmon Fav roo that I crossed over a Gold Laced LF Cochin hen. Two of the chicks have 4 toes per foot and one has 5 toes on each foot. I am really curious to see how they turn out. Here are the week old chicks...
Mine have just gone in this week at 7 weeks old. 5 of them have joined the big girls and rooster without any upset at all. I have put 4 in a dog cage in the run because 2 of them are bantam Cochins and I want them to grow bigger before meeting the grown-ups. I left 2 "friends" with the...
I have quite a few Mutts
Big Bertha - no idea what she is as I bought her from a market. I suspect there is Cochin in there though.
Little Bertha 7 weeks old (daughter of above, black copper Maran father)
In the foreground is what I think is a leghorn X. She used to lay pure white eggs...
I've got a bantam brown Leghorn hen. She is sweet but flighty, and is difficult to photograph
here she is again with another bird that I think is a bantam white Leghorn X (I call her the henaroo because she was an egg-laying hen, but now thinks and acts like a roo!)
this is one of the...
I've got a sweet faverolle bantam rooster and often wonder what the offspring would be like if I put him to a bantam cochin hen?
My cochins are still chicks though so I don't know if I'll try that or not yet, but I think they would be very cute.
I do have a couple of leghorn X maran chicks at...
I have 4 EE chicks that are 7 weeks old
They are all splash - does this mean they might all be Roos?
here are a couple of them. Roos or pullets?
their mum
the four were all yellow when hatched

Don't shoot me but I bought them on impulse from a garden center as week old chicks. They were labeled as being Porcelaine, which I took to be lavender. The shop had a pair of lavender adults and I think the shop have been incubating and hatching out eggs. (They also had Polish...
Here are my two lavender (I think) bantam Cochin babies
they are roughly 6 weeks old. Any thoughts on whether they are hens or roos? One is slightly bigger than the other.
