BANTAM COCHINS CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[calichicken]

I believe they range from 1 week to 3 weeks old, the guy I got these from, likes the unusual breeds, and loves incubating from his about 15 pairs of different chickens, but I do not believe he keeps very good records anymore.

Too young to know gender for sure yet, but my bantam cochin roo definitely had a bigger and redder comb plus noticeable waddles by 3 weeks

What do you folks think? He is from Dyann Blane in Orinda, CA. My breeder-friend found him for sale at the show this weekend, and had Dyann hold him for me so I can visit her and make a final decision. I was on the hospital until last night though so it's going to take me a touch longer to get over to her than I thought. I would love some feedback on this bird to help me with the decision!

That's a lovely rooster!

Cuties we got today
No clue on gender
Any ideas or best guesses??

Silver Laced Bantam Cochin #1 younger

Silver Laced Bantam Cochin #2

Black Bantam Cochin

I think the Silver Laced is a rooster, I've gotten pretty good with guessing my own birds, but it still may be a hen.

That's 2 different SIlver Laced Cochin pictured, #1 is just younger than the other one by a little bit.

Which one do you believe is the roo??

 

[LoveThatChick]

Oops, sorry about that, I think the younger one could be, because it looks like it's feet are more of an orange.

The older Silver Laced's comb is pinking up, so I'm thinking I'm taking these to my Swap in Newberry, I cannot have any more roosters at this time...LOL
until I build more coop space

Yep...that's what happened with my little one..confirmed rooster from the friend I gave him too...such a handsome boy he is turning into! I need to start connecting with swaps in my area! I just end up giving away my roo's to a good home. Never even thought about swapping...LOL! Good luck!

Whooooohooo! I just paid for a really well constructed coop. Its going to be a secondary coop for breeding and growout! Now I just need to recover from this bug that hospitalized me so I can get my rooster from Dyann and get started!
