is the yellow chick an bantam? probably a Cochin, feather footed full size increases the possibilities a bit my french wheaten marans look like that as youngsters

Not sure, the guy I got the eggs from only had barred rock and ameraucana. I figured the babies would be mixed but only two look very different. The others either look black like barred or brownish like ameraucana. One of the chicks looks like both black and brownish and the yellow chick I've no idea.

some cuties that hatched under my serama hen yesterday...

just a couple quick pics.

I would be careful with that food dish. I usually start out with similar dishes (shorter on the sides), and one of my d'Uccle chicks flipped it over on top of itself in the middle of the night under the heat lamp (my heat plate arrives tomorrow). It almost died because of it.

Silkie mixes and other mixes (a couple d'Uccle mixes, don't know the others) that I hatched out on the 26th. The one Silkie mix that hatched out on the 27th had a lot of trouble hatching. His right leg was messed up, so he couldn't get around well and kept getting stuck on his back. He lasted two days though, died this morning at 5AM. So I have 7 Silkie mixes and 4 of the other mixes.

I love how they use the little handle as a head rest.





Then there's the chicks I ordered online and received on the 2nd. 10 bantam specials + 4 male packing peanuts (Vincent the BBW turkey included in the back right of the pic; plus 3 RIR). Cockerel black Cochin in the front of the pic, obviously. There are also 3 black Silkie mixes in there that I hatched out, and 2 d'uccle mixes as well.



If this Sebright is a cockerel, he will have the stereotypical name of Edward Scissorbeak.



I'm really hoping this mottled Cochin will be a pullet, but I thought I saw a bit of pink in the comb already...



And I thought they sent me 3 black Cochins, but this one appears to actually be birchen.

they would have to be super chick to get them to filp they are screwed to the bottom of the brooder box. I had seen your post were that had happened and made sure they were secured. Thank you for the heads up thought

The black cochin you think is birchen, might actually be a black cochin. I ended up with two black cochins from TSC and the female got white laced hackles on her. We ended up selling her, and got stuck with the roo. Someone came to buy him or our cornish roo and took the cornish, so we took down the listing and kept him. We had also ended up with a silver laced cochin hen and now they stay together.

If your black cochin is Indeed black, its a hen and so is the mottled because a roo would have quite a start of a comb by now. Our roo is that size but feathered and his com is quite large.

Umm, "white laced hackles" on a black pullet/hen would be birchen... And I'm not suspicious of the birchen being a cockerel, since she shows no signs of it yet. The mottled has pink in the comb, though.
