Brahma vs Cochin

[tn_artist]

Is there a way to tell the difference between bantam Cochins and bantam Brahmas when they are babies?

Yes Brahmas have pea combs. Cochins have single combs. The difference is obvious even as chicks.

Thanks you so much. I didn't even think about looking up combs. Duh! Could have used me head. I have had lots of cochins, but never brahmas. I'm doubting that TSC would have any in the bantam bin, but I will check little heads when I get home.
Little babies should not be so cute! My daughter wanted a turkey. She said, "The poults are the same size as the chicks!" Yes, child. RIGHT NOW they are...
