Does everyone at Hoover in charge of the breeding pens just stay drunk now?
Did they hire a bunch of young children to manage them?
This is a first. That down color is crazy in contrast to that plumage coming in. Looks like a mixed pattern.
That is ODD. Wheaten is not a color found in Cochins. Not recognized and not one I've seen anyway.
Op, post a pic when it is fully feathered out. I'm beyond interested to see what this one looks like later.
