x2 Adorable color!!!
I try to stick to the "easy to recognize" breeds/colors too. Getting into several breeds and colors this year that I didn't have last year. Barred and black Cochin Bantams included.
My oldest has been helping me out tremendously with my black and barred Cochin Bantams. They're the funniest things!!! I'll get some pics ASAP.
BTW, what colors can I expect? I have a black cockerel and I think the rest are pullets: 2 black pullets, 2 light (gray) barred pullets, 1 dark...
I want colors!!! I have black and barred now, but IDK when I'm going to be able to breed my frizzle hen to them. So....im----patientttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!
My LF do that. My Cochin Bantam didn't start doing that until she was sitting on eggs. But I know what you mean; it's something else to...
My frizzle is molting. It's a combo post-broody & annual molt. Hope she doesn't start laying again until I get pens built.

But this is what she usually looks like
Me?
I'm sorry!!!
Thank you!!! =)
I don't understand.
=) I'm not able to get on as often as I'd like right now. I'm going to be really busy for the next couple of months, so I won't be on as...
What about toes? How many toes does a Cochin have? I have a chicken that I was told is a Frizzle Cochin Bantam, but she has five toes (I was not told when I bought her what she was.) I have bought ten Cochin Bantams this year and they all have four toes (they were marked as Cochin).
Oh, super cute chicks everyone!!!
I hope they feather out whatever color you're hoping for!!! And I hope they're whatever sex you want them to be too!!!
I have some pictures of my 8.5 week old Cochins. Can anyone tell me whether they're Bantams and whether each is pullet/cockerel?
This is the best place I've found to get accurate info about Cochin Bantams on BYC!!! Many thanks to all those who have helped me!!!
Now the chick pictures; I'm...
