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

[Queensilkie]

I have a two-month old bantam Cochin cockeral! Lovely little guy so far, my first experience with the breed! His name's Kingsley:

Pretty boy! Is he birchen?

I'm really not sure! I don't know a whole lot about specific colour varieties!

I have this one rooster that I do not need in my breeding program (hackle leakage). I wanted him to behave and just hang around my yard and be a good yard bird. But he wanted to fight every other rooster through the fence of every other pen. So he went to rooster-jail (dog crate). Well I felt sorry for him, and my grow-out baby coop wasn't being used, and its more room than the dog crate, so I put him in it. Of course, now I needed it. So he has become Mr. Mom to seven 3-week old chicks.

Mr. Mummy Bird is a handsome fellow! I think Kingsley will look similar to him when he gets bigger, hopefully!

Mommy rooster's name is Zippy. I accidentally left a zip tie on his ankle for too long, forgot about it under the feathers until I noticed him limping. I had to dig it out of his leg!! It was awful. So I gave him his own set of girls. I had high hopes for him.... then his hackles starting showing leakage. He's really a good boy. So i figure he will be top dog of my next bachelor pen.

What is your opinion, I just got rid of two this age that had bigger comb and wattles and figured they were boys, but two of these three guys got me stumped, 9 weeks old, first one I'm pretty confident is a girl, the last two I thought would be boys but the combs haven't grown like the two I got rid of??

Sorry, for comparison, the two I got rid of ..
