    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    Yaaaaaaaay! The silkies have been crowing for about a week and the whole time I’ve been side eying the baby cochins so hard like, “when ya gonna break my heart?”

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    Yes!! It’s been so confusing because one minute when they’re running around they’re pretty bright red but when they are in the shade relaxing it’s BAM super fleshy light pink. The suspense is killing me 😭

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    So far at just under 11 weeks no saddle feathers or long/pointy hackle feathers and very minimal comb and wattle development! The silkies they’ve been raised with are crowing already but nothing but peeps and hen behavior from all three cochins. Still waiting for one to start crowing but so far...

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    I felt pretty similar and even at 11 weeks now there’s small wattles but no obvious growth and a lot of hen behavior. They have grown up with 3 Silkie chicks about the same age and two of the silkies are crowing already but nothing from the cochins!

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    I’m happy to see yours for comparison! Now at nearly 11 weeks very little growth in combs and wattles, the light blue still barely has any visible. The splash and darker blue definitely have more visible but not much growth in the last few weeks. Our two Silkie cockerels the same age have begun...

    Black Silkies!

    You’ve given me SO MUCH HOPE that the three black silkies we have might still be pulleys! They look so much like yours at 9 weeks and I’ve been panicking 😅

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    So here’s an update! They’re now right around 7 weeks old. The first one’s combs/face/wattles are usually mostly pink, but tend to blush a lot when stressed or in the sun. Posture is very horizontal, skittish, runs away from chest bumping and doesn’t participate. The second stays pretty...

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    I certainly will! If one is good temperament and not TOO loud we can likely keep it, and we already have one mottled bantam Cochin in the original flock we took in. I was hoping to add a few more!

    Shucks! Hopefully at least one will wind up being a pullet but they have happy homes if not!

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    Here are a few updates! They’re just over 5 weeks, and there isn’t a LOT of change in comb or wattles on any of them. Definitely lots more feathers and very poofy! The lightest blue has the least pink in the comb and no signs of wattles, very little foot feathering compared to the others, and is...

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    The first one with more feathers is the one I’m wondering if it’ll be black or just dark blue/splash. It has some white polka dots on the feet feathering

    I have one much darker blue that looks almost black and one light blue/silvery one that looks like it’ll be the “traditional” blue

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    Thank you! We live in an urban area and aren’t supposed to have Roos. I’m in love with the splash despite it’s distaste of me, and the little blue/silver one is my new lil’ buddy. Do you think the darkest one will wind up all black or more a dark silver or dark splash? It has some mottling on...

    4 Week old blue bantam cochin gender guesses

    Hi ya’ll! Just short of a month ago we got three blue bantam cochins and three blue silkies. Right now im curious if anyone has any early guesses as to sex? two are showing some pink/ red in the comb as of today, but the darkest one which feathered the quickest has two red lines under its chin...

    New urban flock owner!

    I’m glad too! It’s already been incredibly helpful! The flock we took in had mites(😭) and a lot of feather loss from a mean roo but they’re molting now and we’ve gotten the mites under control and everyone is healing nicely!
