Cochin - hen or rooster? Update: Pics added

[TheRidingLibrarian]

Thank you.

I really don't mind that one is a Roo...in fact, if I had to pick one to be a Roo, it is Fluffy. Should make for some interestigng babies right?

Quick, dumb noob question: As long as we gather the eggs every day, we can still eat them, even if they are fertilized right?

FLUFFY IS DEFINEATLY A ROO. He has wattles and a large come both really red. Fluffy looks like he is a splash color. He is gonna be real pretty when he grows up!

Yes you can eat the eggs.Sometimes especially with cochins fertility is hard to get. They are so fluffy the poor guy misses his mark. Some people AI but I figure if they are fertile fine if not oh well.

Thanks so much guys for all the info! You all have been totally invaluable to me over the past 18 weeks.

Btw, remember how I mentioned we hadn't heard a crow from him yet? Well, Hubby comes in this AM (he works nights) and says he distinctly heard a crow out there. LOL Fluffy must know about all my questioning and is, "I'M A ROOSTER DANG-IT! DUH!!!"

Chooks: What? You don't like me calling her blonde??

Just teasing. Thank you, I've been wondering what the real color names were. While we're at it, what do you call Fluffy's color?

Splash

You can say blond, its not that formal here.
