Cochin Chick Feathering

[Justadoz3nshort]

Oh wow, they don't even have Blue Barred listed in their catalog! That's... weird.

Tagging in @Rhodebar Lover as they're probably the best with IDing weird stuff like this from hatcheries!




I don't see enough of a difference for me to confidently say, honestly. With my Barred Rock bantams, I wasn't confident until they were a little further feathered in.

I know! I looked because I'm perplexed. I'm thinking just plain blue cochin?

Maybe, although it looks like they have a head spot and some barring in their feathers... Hopefully Rhodebar lover will be able to help on that!

Every time I think I've decided on a breed there's always a cochin thread that makes me reconsider everything

They are my favorite and I chose them because they are quiet (for my neighbors).

I definitely need quiet! I've decided I'm only hoping to do bantams from now on, just for the sake of my neighbours ears

Mine don't even do an egg song

And they accept any chicken you throw in with them which makes introductions a breeze. Big puppy dogs. I may have just gotten lucky lol

Yeah, my large fowl Cochins are very chill and quiet, too. The bantams are a bit mouthy, though, and the sassiest little critters ever

I've been advised (pipd was actually one of the people who gave me said advice) not to get LF cochins because they'll melt like ice cream in the hot Greek summer, and it definitely makes sense. My first bantam flock has been really quiet, so I'm definitely converted to bantams. I just need to find out what breed that'll be...

I'm in rhode island so we have pretty mild summers compared to most that's why they are a good fit for me. I can't imagine the poor things in hotter climates. It's like they have winter coats on.
