Cochin Thread!!!

nope. barred birds have a white spot on the top of their head...

So my White Cochin baby is barred since it has a white dot on the top of its head? I am assuming its is barred covered by the dominate white? So If that is true, some of the babies from this chick could show barring?

Can you post a picture?

The white dot was there on just this one of the two from when we first got it. It is still there but with the white feathers coming out is harder to see now.

Why is my WHITE cochin developing these brown spots on its shoulders?

From the hours I've spent studying how to sex different breeds (EE 's in particular) if a white bird gets brown or red on it's shoulders /wings, it's a boy.
