I'm sorry, that's so sad....

It's hard to deal with.... So sorry...

I'm still churning out red bantam cochins here

Eggs are hatching as I type this.

I have two breeding pens - you can see that one pen is giving me darker colored birds with a bit of black. The other pen produces the lighter but clearer red.

Reds are so tempting

Got my first Cochin a few weeks ago. I'm so excited to add her to my flock! Here she is at 18 days.

Is this vulture hock?
I bought 9 LF chicks at an auction, raising them for a friend. A couple of them have these feathers that are under their wings and leading back from their legs.

I'm no expert, but those look like vulture hawks.

Only 2 of the nine chicks have them. Would the rest possible carry the flaw?

It really depends if they are related. Vulture hawks is hereditary.
