We had some chicks be left on our door step AND we have a bantam bundle we ordered from Cackle. I need help figuring out their breeds, they’re small so I’m sure it’s still too hard to gender them, but if you can I’ll appreciate it!
The chick in question has nowhere near the leg feathers as the other four. Seems to stand more upright. Even the comb doesn’t seem to be as well developed as the others. Do I just have a slow developing pullet or did I get a cockerel slipped into my pullet order. I know it’s early but any...

Howdy,
I've recently gotten a pair of this little 2ish week old pullets and I'm trying to figure out what they might look like when they grow up. The piebald one I believe to be some kind of cochin because she's starting to grow feathers on her legs. The little black one I was told might be a...
I had 27 baby chicks hatch earlier in may (the 14th) under two broody hens. One baby has a strange lump on her right side. It seems like an air pocket, or it has fluid or something. It doesn’t seem to be bothering her at the time but I’m scared it may get bigger or she could get sick, or...
Hello All,
I got three of these LF cochins from TSC. They are about a week old now. I am trying to discern the color pattern. I am starting to lean toward Partridge, but thought I would see what others think.
Don't mind the random Silver Laced Wyandotte in one photo, the store had a min of 4...
This chick was completely mislabeled in the store, I think. She was in a bin labeled Sapphire Olive Egger which should be a Cream Crested Legbar mix. After looking up numerous images and comparing to what the hatchery offers, I think maybe she's a Cochin?? She's black with white around her...
So here is my week by week thread for my silkies/silkie cochin mixes! Hopefully y'all can read my writing 😬😅😅
2 weeks old today. (I know it's to early but :p)
Hatched a turkey bantam cochin mix. A silkie cochin mix and a Easter egger Orpington mix chick. I also hatched one that I'm completely unsure what it is but pretty sure it's Orrpington mix. I'm in love! Who else loves mixing and seeing what you get?? I just do this once in a blue moon. I...
My husband has ordered males and females in the following Cochins Blue Cochin, Silver Laced Cochin, and Partridge Cochins to add to his flock. Our question is can we house all three of these groups of Cochin together if he wants to breed them? Thanks so much!
This is a little Cochin chick I got today. The dad is lavender and looks to have the isabella partridge markings. Mom looks to be a silver laced cochin (maybe silver partridge? I have a hard time telling since some partridges I've seen have lacing and others don't) - just googled it actually and...
So for right now I am getting back into chickens since I had my baby. I’m getting basic breeds for pets/ eggs. I also wanted some hatching eggs or chicks for showing as my child got older. I always wanted to show chickens since I was a little girl and raised chickens for years. I don’t know...
Hi there guys, Im looking for mille Fluer' or Calico, partridge, buff cochins and Blue laced Wyandottes. I live in Southern Oregon and am not having luck finding anyone. I would prefer chicks but my neighbor has an incubator I can use. She incubates her emus eggs because the male is the "...
Hi! I'm looking for 2 female chicks only. Some breeds that I am looking for are ayam cemani, cochin (both bantam or standard), and silkies (again either bantam or standard). I'm not too picky about colors but I do prefer a black or white.
I live near Seattle, WA and I'm willing to drive out a...
Hi! I have a 13 day old bantam Cochin cutie here! Can anyone tell me what color he/she is? The pics don't show it very well but it's a very light silver all over with white too... now it's wing feathers are grey tipped and frizzled! What a personality on this baby!
What would happen? With a Plymouth Rock all white hen? Her chicks would look like? We have three black babies....and one penciled roo..... I am feeling very helpless not inderstanding the gnetics of the all white . We have a hatch of 16 chicks, five weeks old from our golden laced Cochin...
