    5 wk old Mottled Cochin Bantam, Pullet??

    We have 4 Cochin chicks total, all 5 wks old, two mottled and a blue and a lavender. The blue is 100% a roo, biggest comb I’ve ever seen on a 5 wk old, and the lavender I suspect might be a roo too but has a significantly smaller comb than the blue. The 2 mottled (identical to the one in the...

    Bantam EE Chicks Sexing Tips?

    I have three bantam EE chicks from Ideal Poultry that are two weeks old now and they're all identical (eyeliner-ed and "chipmunk"-y, as people say), and they started feathering at like three days old and faster than all our other bantam chicks, all three easter eggers feathered at the same speed...

    OMG need cute name!!

    Trelawny - a cute name without context but it's a character from a cowboy game, he's eccentric and mysterious and has a distinct mustache! Also, although the character is a man the name Trelawny sounds both feminine or masculine and could work for a hen or rooster.

    Ideal Poultry *d'Anver* with feathered legs?! Mutation or mistake?

    Good catch! I never noticed the feet/leg color differing from IP's advertised picture of the self blue d'Anvers before, and all the other d'Anvers have those dark grey-ish colored legs. Wow, can't believe I didn't notice that for two weeks!

    Ideal Poultry *d'Anver* with feathered legs?! Mutation or mistake?

    He's way smaller than all four of the Bantam Cochins we got, so I don't think he could be a cochin. The cochin in the comparison photo is a bantam cochin and is still that much bigger. We got only bantams in our order and the d'Anvers are the smallest of them all, and he's the same size as the...

    Ideal Poultry *d'Anver* with feathered legs?! Mutation or mistake?

    So we have a two week old Self Blue d'Anver chick, Fig. We got him February 11th along with 16 other varied bantams (*not Ideal's choice of assorted bantams, we picked them all out ourselves!). I got three d'Anvers in total, 1 Quail d'Anver, 1 Blue Quail d'Anver, and the chick of the hour, Fig...

    Mystery chick- help!

    Yw! Btw, we absolutely love our partridge silkie hen, she's such a sweetheart and she has these gorgeous blue earlobes that we call her "turquoise earrings". I hope that Queenie is a keeper!

    Another chick to identify

    Yep! One of my first chickens ever was an OEGB hen (black breasted red, I think?) and she was this cutie's spitting image!

    Mystery chick- help!

    Looks just like my bantam Partridge Silkie hen did as a youngling! So cute. Looks like everyone on this thread is saying partridge silkie too so I know this isn't a hot take lol.

    Help ID! two-day-old black & white chick

    I considered that, but every Barred Rock chick i've ever seen is like 98% black, and she's got a pretty notable amount of splashed white.

    Help ID! two-day-old black & white chick

    Got this baby pullet from the feed store today, she's a standard chick and my experience is mostly with bantams, so i'm not as good at identifying these guys. She also has clean legs, not feathered, so my immediate bantam-brain guess being Cochin is clearly wrong. And although I trust the...

    Serama vs Cochin

    As for climate hardiness, i've read Cochins are hardy in the winter and I've also had them before where I live in 80-100 f heat and they did fine. Obviously all chickens in warmer climates need a coop that provides shade and access to fresh water, and in colder climates chickens need a coop with...

    Serama vs Cochin

    Serama (depends what class I think? don't know much about Seramas): female 0.5-1.0 lbs, male 0.6-1.19 lbs. Standard Cochins: female 8.5 lbs, male 11 lbs. Bantam Cochins: female 1.6 lbs, male 1.8 lbs. This was kind of confusing to type out, feel free to correct any mistakes if anybody knows better.
