I see no beards on them. They are cochins.

My niece and the local 4H guy says duckle. :confused: Seems many don't know how to pronounce it.

That's a lot of cuteness. :)

Mine have no problem breeding. The hens don't lay very well, they will lay in spurts, producing a clutch before going broody, so you may only get a few chances a year to hatch some.

I do talk about them too much, don't I? They have been such fun, and seeing younger ones makes me sad to see them getting older. One is still fine, the other is mostly blind. They are 7 going on 8. Yours are young and fresh. It is nice to see.

They definitely are looking great. I lost one of my old man trio, and another is failing. They are a great little spunky breed.

He must be in heaven, mine always act like they are big chickens and will often chase roosters that are much bigger than they are. They are a spunky breed.

He's gorgeous.

Mine get whiter after each molt. They generally are fully spotted by 3-5 years of age. Yours will probably still get a few more spots as they continue to mature this year yet.

The spots come in as they age, every year they get a bit more.

Generally 6-8 months.

That's what I thought they might be. Love that color. I would rather butcher too than send them to a poor environment where they will end up eaten by something anyways without proper housing.

But they are so adorable. We butchered a d'uccle Cochin cross last year, he was mean to the hens, wasn't much on him for meat. If you were closer I would take a trio of boys as mine are getting pretty old now. Yours are good looking, what color is that?

Makes me wonder if I'm having a senior moment. Maybe they are all so unspotted at that age, geez, it's been a few years since I raised some.:old Mine are all adults.

The spots come in slowly, though I haven't seen them so unspotted. She's still very adorable. Every molt they will get in a few more white spots, so she should get there.

Thank you. The porcelain boys have been a goofy little trouble making trio. I adore them, so it's sad to see them getting old. You can definitely see the lose of comb points from frostbite, and I have to keep an eye out for them daily to make sure they are doing okay with their vision loss. They...

I also have a trio of old porcelain roosters. They are 8, 2 are going blind.

They are gorgeous. They are much darker in color than my hatchery one.

I call them pigeon sized. I think they are similar in size to OEG, but are a bit fuller, could be the big zippered feet that make them appear bigger, and those cheek puffs.

They are an adorable trio.
