[pokey]

i have three chicks that are full cochin, but they are the chipmunk pattern of the ee's. what color will they most likely be as adults?

Could be Partridge, they are marked like chipmunks when born.

Yep, Partridge most likely.

Do they look like the ones in the picture below-ours are bantam Partridge Cochins that we picked up today at a swap.

sorta.... the roo is millie but the hens are barred, mottled(black and blue) and splash. and one millie hen. so what color are the millie chicks? i think i have 4 that are mottled or blue, three that are chipmunk and one that is the light yellow but chochlate brown on top.
i didn't see the post on coloring the vents w food coloring to identify the hen, but i will try that next time.
