Hello.
I think Pippin and Blue's chicks (6wks old) are cochin mixes, does that count?

So here are the ones living outside with mama... All boys (you can't tell because these pics I took 2 weeks ago)

Okay and here is Thor!
When she turned 3-4wks old, one hen was really attacking her every morning. It would all seem normal then, Fries (the hen) would suddenely run at her full speed and grab her. Mama did try to protect her the first 2 days of it, then gave up.
Thor is the oldest chick, but struggled catching up with mama and the others, and, being attacked every day led to me finding her alone, scared, trembling on the corner of the coop.
Fries wouldn't pick on the other 3 chicks. Just Thor.
I separated Fries, but another hen went for her.
Thor still couldn't catch up.
Last week, I took her in. She's been doing great! She used to be alone in the coop all day anyway so she actually gets more company in the house.
We have naps, watch TV, play games, clean, together!
Now for pics (top is most recent)

I think she is a piebald frizzle cochin mix!

Very cute! Sorry for the boys thought

They look poor quality bobtail to me.

Porcelain should look like a millefleur, but lighter (due to the lavender gene, that lightens the black and the red/buff). Calicos are like a millefleur but with more white.

Bantam Cochin owners unite!

Alfredo is sad to be excluded for being a large fowl Cochin.
