    Hello, Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist. I am new to chicken keeping. I ordered seven baby chicks from MPC. They are 6.5 weeks old currently. I ordered six girls and one boy.

    Help identifying cochins from TSC

    I did it again. I swear I only needed dog food. It is their fault for having the baby chicks in the same aisle 🤣. But I am not mad, ok well, my husband is...lol. So these were at TSC as "cochins". Can someone tell me which kind and color they are going to turn into? I got 4, two that look black...

    Assorted Bantams, what did I get?

    Hey Guys! Can I get some help identifying these chicks? They were in the assorted bantam bin at my feed store. I know I got a frizzle cochin bantam (#3) that I would like to know what color it may turn into. #1 looks like a d'uccle but not too sure.(feathered feet and pointy tail) And no...

    Is this a Red Cochin? 15 weeks

    I bought three 6 week old chicks from a neighbor about 3 months ago and I cannot figure out what this guy(or girl) is. The lady said she bought them from a feed store and two are for sure Cochins, one is a bantam Brahma, and the other she couldn’t remember the breed. The older this one gets the...

    Cochin gender?

    6 weeks old. This one’s comb is already red compared to the others, and is a little bigger. I was thinking cockerel 🤔?

    Cochin gender?

    Trying to help a friend figure out gender. She said she got this Cochin from a breeder eight months ago who claimed the chicken was ten months during the time. Has not crowed or laid eggs yet. 🤔

    Cockrel?

    I have a 7 1/2 qeek old bantam cochin and I'm just not sure about it! We have another one hatched the same day that is most definitely a cockrel (labeled B1). Here is a pic for reference. But this other one I just can't tell. It has a pretty significant comb, but it's not red like the other's...

    Hi all! I am posting a photo of my Cochin Bantam Rooster. I am just getting started with Mille Fleurs, Calicos, and Mottled bantam cochins. Could you all give me some advice on color of this guy? Blue Mille was thrown around from someone I know but I wasn't sure if that was the case. He does...

    Black Cochin hen going blind!??

    We thought Peeps must have been pecked in an eye. She kept keeping it closed so we treated the eye as if it was. She is losing weight and the hen who she hung out with her whole life is pushing her away. Took them for a walk yesterday and shes stumbling over things which are close and under...

    Who’s gonna have bantam Cochins this spring?

    Not looking for anything fancy — buff, black, splash, whatever. My kiddos love bantams and I’ve been talked into getting a few. I know the hatcheries will have them, but I’m hoping another breeder might. No luck finding any local yet (south MS). Thanks!

    What color is my bantam cochin?

    This is Chrissy my frizzled bantam cochin pullet I got as an extra egg with silkie eggs I bought. Now she just kinda lives with my silkies and 2 other non-silkie hens. I believe she is a black with gold leakage, but she has a couple white tips on her foot feathers. Is that some kind of leakage...

    Breeding silkie + 2 other breeds. What to expect?

    Hello! I will be breeding a silkie rooster to a bantam brahma and a frizzle bantam cochin. The 2 non-silkie girls live with my silkies and I figured that since I'm probably gonna accidentally mix their eggs in with the silkie hatching eggs, I might aswell purposely hatch some chicks from them. I...

    Scruffy chicken?

    My chicken, Soap, is a giant blue cochin. She's 16 weeks old and her feathers look scruffier compared the other two (also 16 weeks old). She dust bathes and preens so I'm wondering if this is genetic. She doesn't seem ill at all.

    Pullet? Bantam cochin frizzle

    I'm pretty positive Krissy here is a pullet, but just wanted to double check. 7 weeks old. She was given to me as an extra egg together with some refund silkie eggs. I was only told that that egg is from a bantam cochin. To my surprise she also turned out to be a frizzle.
