Blue cochin chicks

[brahmamamamak]

Have you contacted Ideal and explained the situation? I've found them to be very helpful, and responsive to emails in the past.

No I haven’t but I will do that. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes!!! They all went out to the coop Wednesday night. 5 1/2 weeks old. Of course, I didn’t sleep a wink that night forced myself not to go out into my barn, but went out there at first light actually waking the horses up.

I love them so much! What are their personalities like?

I recieved my blue cochin chicks by mail this morning 3 out of twelve have no feathers on their legs are they not cochin?
They have been in the brooder for two hours now and all 12 chicks are doing well .View attachment 3426455

Do you have an updated picture of your Cochins? I have one and I’m trying to possibly tell if it’s a girl or boy.

Yes, I am uploading some pictures of the blue Cochins that are now a little over 11 weeks old. Also, I included a couple photos of my silver laced Cochin’s who are about seven weeks old. I hope they help. I’m thinking I’ve got all pullets, but there are a couple I’m still wondering about. Time will tell.

Mine looks like the pullet in the fifth picture. Just a little darker on the head. She is 7 almost 8. The silver laced ones are so pretty . I only have the one cochin so I’m hoping for a pullet

I love my Cochins, always have, very gentle and friendly. I would not mind if one ended up being a rooster. I have also had light Brahmas. Still have a old lady who turned 13 this month and had a amazing light Brahma rooster. My profile pic. So far I think she looks like a pullet.

I am updating with pictures of my blue Cochins and mystery chick who was indeed a blue polish. They were drop shipped from Ideal. I want to give credit where it is due. The quality of these Cochins is great. Beautiful feathering great temperaments. They are 20 weeks old. Still waiting for eggs. Also pleased with my blue polish “Maxima”.

They are all so pretty! I LOVE your splash! I have 2 splash hens, a splash roo, a blue roo, a buff hen and a silver laced hen (all Cochin). I had a blue hen but she passed away in the spring.

Wow. They are gorgeous. I'd love to have some standard cochins but it is so hot this summer, that I'm sticking to bantams.
