Thank you both for replying. I am excited to see how they all develop. Awesome work by the way on the line that you are working on! Depending on how many of each gender I end up with on my SB chicks, I may definitely be interested in your SB adults next Fall.
Thanks for replying. I did not see the roo, but the hens are Lavender. Time will definitely tell for sure, just was wondering if other colors got mixed in the batch.
Thanks again

Hi, I posted this question on the "Lavender Cochin" and "Self-Blue" Threads and thought I would check with the brooder cochin community as well. I just hatched 9 "Lavender Bantam Cochin" or "Self Blue (Lav)" eggs and am wondering about the color of the chicks.

Hi All, I posted this question on the "Lavender Cochin" Thread and found out about this one. I just hatched 9 "Lavender Bantam Cochin" or "Self Blue (Lav)" eggs and am wondering about the color that the chicks are suppose to be. I have 1 that looks to be darker than the rest and probably a...
Hi! I have 6 that just hatched and 3 that are working there way out. Does anyone have pictures of the chicks coloring? Pale silver with yellowish bellies right? This is my first group of lavender bantam eggs.
Thanks!
When I spread her wings, there are short and long feathers coming in. She also has tail and upper feathers sprouting in (not shoulders like some of the F BCMs, but the upper parts) .. So I am really hopeful that she is "Tinkerbelle" who my daughter named! A Silver Cuckoo Marans will be very...
thanks for the picture. Sofar she is dark and yes the breeder had Marans andRIR. I am certain that is not what she is. She had 5rench BCM's. That is where this little ones hatch mates came from. Did you hatch yours too?

I am not sure if CM have white and grey legs but hers are yellow and grey. She also has feathers on both legs going to the outer toes.
the other ones are 100% french blk copper marans_ wade and bev davis lines.
thanks for the link!
I thought Cuckoo marans had white/grey legs. Are those...
All, This cutie hatched from a speckled brown egg lighter than the French Copper Marans we did in the same hatch. The breeder was not sure if this egg was even fertile and threw it in with the others. As "she" is starting to feather out, "she" looks like a Cuckoo Marans and a pullet? She is a...
Is anyone else tired?! Feels like newborns are in the house again for sure!....Not quite like it was with my children, but definitely around the clock checking on eggs and chicks for the last week.
On another note, has anyone used zip ties before as leg bands? There are 2 that hatched from our...
Will do, thanks! From what I do know in asking she has vB and Cratty in her line or breeds their lines...sorry new to this. Thanks

That scares me...lets just hope the "her" is not "THE HER"....if it is you are on the same path as many before you, with nothing but...
Yes, they all came from the same breeder and I really am not sure how her line runs at this age as far as color. This is the first time I bought from her. From this age, do their markings indicate anything or just wait and see? THanks again

Not a gender indicator. Once you have...
Hello, I am new to Barnevelders and just hatched 6! 2 Bantams and 4 standards. I noticed that 3 are darker than the others... the 2 Bantams and 1 of the Standard size. Is that any indication of gender? Here are some pics. They are not great pics as they will be 1 day old today and I took these...
Edited to say..hee hee, I was posting the Dry Chick pics as you were sending
Here they are!!!
So far 22 babies this week and 3 Partridge Cochins on the way!! They are the last but certainly not least in the incubator! The BCM that is still does not look like it is going to hatch... Very...
Congratulations!! I wonder if the bubble was from it trying to tug away from being stuck and crreated an air pocket under its skin? Glad you were able to help the baby out!

I did a similar method in a Still Air and a Thermal Air w/ fan. The ones that hatched out of the Still Air yesterday did not fluff up until today! Their down feathers were glued down too. Give it until tomorrow and they should start fluffing up. The ones that hatched out of the Thermal Air with...
