ok. I thought I saw some darker spots on the wings after it hatched but maybe that was just still drying. I put her in with my hen now (she hatched in the incubator) so a bit harder to see and really check.... hmmmSplash chicks will generally have dark spots of down ... I don't think it's splash
It is ok I have them here and I didn't even notice the no feathers on the feet/legs on the darker one. that one hatched under my broody so a bit harder to see. The brown in the face is what threw me off on BBS which is why I asked. I saw splash cochin chick pics and they looked mainly yellow some looked a little light gray and yellow so wasn't sure on that one.Wow. Looked to fast.
They’re right. The chicks are not pure cochins.
Thanks. I know when I got my buff last year (got her from a local feed store that you can order from and they call when they are in so probably about 3 days old when I got them) and she was more reddish/tan and not as yellow/light. but I do see the reddish tints in this one so may darken up over the next couple days (they were hatched last night so at the time of the pictures they were under 24 hrs old)The light one could end up being a cochin, it has feathered legs and I don't think it has a beard or muffs. If it is a cochin, then it would either be splash or buff but I'm leaning towards buff
what color do you think?And the other one isn’t splash, though it does have leg fluff.
Buff or white. Maybe a mixed coloration.what color do you think?
) and then 2 that hatched..... But know shipping eggs can be rough so left a neutral review just because they could have been packed better..... But wrong breed is just a bit much!
