Cochin Thread!!!

[lilcrow]

I have 3 blue Cochin chicks at 6 weeks old.I've already noticed a coloring difference among them. One of them is very light and the other two have darker feet legs and wings. My intention was pullets. Are these darker markers indicative of cockerels?
Thanks in advance for any input

No
The darker color is more desirable in the shows.

Digging around last week and came across the pictures my wife took of some of my Bantam
Cochins in July 2012. One of my favorite pictures of Cochins..

I picked up my eggs from the breeder Thursday and she brought a TON of extras! I ordered a dozen, she said she bring extras...she brought 45! After weighing, candling, and dating, I now have 42 LF Cochins in the incubator. I am really hoping to have a good hatch rate but at the same time wondering what I'm going to do with that many chickens?!
