Hi yall. attached are photos of 4.5 week old bobtail cochin bantam chicks. i’ve never raised this breed before and was wondering if any of you guys could help me figure out their sex! they’re almost fully feathered and i’ve started to see a little comb+waddle development. any ideas are appreciated!
This Cochin rooster got in a fight with another one (escaped his pen) and that resulted in his eye getting inquired and now I think infected? There is no pus, but it has a smell. This happened 4 days ago and he hasn’t open his eye. I’ve cleaned out with vetricyn eye wash and have put termycian...
So I am breeding Cochin bantams and I have four bantams. I have two buff hens and two red roosters. What would their offspring coloring be? I have their eggs in the incubator so I am just trying to get ready and predict their coloring.
So I have this one chicken, she's a Cochin Bantam, and she's from Tractor Supply, and I was looking at her feet and she's missing a toenail. What does that mean?
Hi Everyone,
I am curious what colour my 7 month old rooster could throw to his offspring. I was told he is a Cuckoo but I'm not sure if that means blue/black base colour or how it all works when it comes to Cuckoo/Barred in a Pekin. Thank you!
apologies in advance. I’m about to spam you with so many photos but would appreciate any feedback!!
I’m new to pekin bantams and just had my first hatch and now I’m overly curious! I’m trying to wrap my head around colours. I was just hoping to find out exactly what colours I have and which...
This is my only Cochin bantam and I’ve been waiting and waiting to see if it would lay an egg or if it would crow or start acting roosterish but it hasn’t. It’s been of age to do either or but my other rooster hasn’t been aggressive towards it or tried to mate with it. Any guesses if this is a...
Hi all!
First time raising a flock! I have 7 chickens 5 are about 6-7 weeks old I believe. I did get them from tractor supply so unsure clearly of their age, two were from a local feed store sapphire lover egger and a jersey giant that are about 4 1/2 weeks old (separated for now) . I was...
so this is Husk. She’s about 17 weeks old now and I still have no clue what she is. Her sisters are clearly a serama and a cochin, but husk looks like neither. Any ideas? Her wattles are tiny compared to the other two, her comb is small and black. Eyes are very dark, long legs but not too long...
Hi all, I have three 10-week old cochin bantams that are having some respiratory problems. They are all sneezing, and one has a slightly swollen face. They are still eating and drinking well. I have been giving them VetRx, Rooster Booster, and Spring Chicken Wellness Brew in their water each...
Hello!
I have a 10 month old Cochin bantam (my problem chicken) who went broody back in January and hatched some eggs in February, as I had a really hard time trying to get her un- broody. I just gave up and gave her some eggs. Anyway, she is apparently ready to go broody again and is...
Hello!
I have a few 10 1/2 week old chicks and I’d like to know what I’ve got.
I have one serama, who I believe is a little lady.
One bantam Cochin. My other girl Cochins got red very early on, so I’m hoping this is the case.
And a mystery chicken ( any idea what it is?)
Can I get the outcome I’m looking for in the 2nd year of breeding? If I were to breed a blue to a mottled what should I look for in the offspring? my other question would be if I were to breed the brother and sister would I get blue mottled chicks from them?
so I bought these chicks three Saturdays ago. I know my local tractor supply receive them on that Thursday so they’re like three weeks and two days old the two blackish ones are supposedly blue Australorps, but they look to me how my plymouth barred rock looked, so now I’m confused did they mess...
First time having baby chicks, I got 3 random furry feet bantams hoping they were silkies but they all have 4 toes so clearly not lol. Wondering what breeds they are and maybe genders? Obviously nothing is certain til they’re grown but the guessing and watching is part of the fun. I *think* I’ve...
Hello all
I am set up to breed Cochins. I have two roosters, a mottled and a lemon splash. My mottled carries black, some blue somewhere and mottled. My lemon splash carries all sorts of weird colors. He assumably carries buff and blue, but when I bred him to a lemon blue bird from his same...
