Thank you so much! Unfortunately I think it's my rooster. His hackle and saddle are turning red in the sun.

Is it possible for a chick from a blue cochin pen (blue rooster and blue hens) to have red in its wing feathers? One of my week old blue cochin chicks has wing feathers that are half blue and half reddish-gold. I know that the hens were not bred by any other rooster, so it had to come from one...

Does the sun mess with blue feathers? My blue cochin rooster has a reddish tint to most of his hackle. I read that the sun can cause brassiness in white birds that carry red or buff but I could not find any information as to whether it does the same to blue feathers. You can see a little red...

Thank you! Yay! That's what I want to hear :)

I finally got some pictures of my 2 partridge cochin frizzle babies! They are super cute :) so far both look female. Fingers crossed they both are!

Aww man! That stinks about the weather. I live in Texas so our weather has been great for hatching. Out of the 28 chicks, 3 have frizzed, and 2 are partridge colored!!!! I cannot wait to see what they look like all grown up!

Thank you! I ended up with 28 chicks! I had an 80% hatch rate this go around.

Thanks guys! Overnight I went from 5 to 24 with 5 more unzipping! They sure like hatching at night. Maybe an evolutionary trait because there are less predators at night? I dunno lol. But here is a picture of the movement of the first 21. I'll try and get some individuals later. I've got nearly...

Thanks! I've got 5 chicks so far. No pictures yet because they're still in the bator

Mine should be hatching today! 35 made it to lockdown. I'm keeping the chicks for a week to see what I want to keep and then the rest are being sold.

Thank you! I just hit day 7 today so I will be candling when I get home from school I'm hoping my blue cochins were laying fertile eggs. They have just come into lay about a month ago.

Hooray! I've got 42 cochin, frizzle cochin, and silkie eggs in my incubator right now I haven't candled yet, but the temp and humidity have been fine so far! They are on day 6. I am hoping for some frizzle hens to replace the one that died and the one I had to sell.

Anybody have any idea what color to call this frizzle rooster? He is a blue/black with gold/red on his wings, back, and neck.

Such pretty birds!

Oh man, those sound like such pretty birds!!!! I'm hoping when I get my own place one day with enough room for birds that I can add more colors to my collection. The millie cochins are so pretty! I have never seen a mauve or chocolate though.

Eek! I am just now getting pictures up! I am so sorry, it's been a crazy week. The first few pictures are of the frizzle rooster. His name is George :) I have no idea what his color is. He is a dark blue/black all over with the gold on his neck, back, and wings. Here are my...

So I hatched my bantam eggs earlier in the year ( I guess October?) and ended up with a blue frizzle rooster! I have no idea how lol. He has some gold in him too on his neck feathers and saddle. Is that appropriate coloring for a blue or would he be considered something else? I really need to...

The little hen is about 3 months old. She's definitely more white looking than blue. I'm excited for her first molt, just to see what happens! So if my rooster is white, where did the blue chicks come from? I should be able to get pictures in the morning. I can also get a picture of the...

Ok, I have pictures of Richard (the rooster) but not of the chicks yet. I have to get up before they are let out at like 6:30 and that's been difficult. I also got some pictures of a blue cochin hen I bought who looks more like a lavender or a splash to me. What do you think? Here is Richard...

The Birchen makes sense. There is a chance that my white frizzle roo is a splash, but there is pretty much no chance he bred any of the other females because I have them in separate runs and he doesn't go a-wandering. One of my black frizzle hens was the product of a black frizzle hen and the...
