Cochin Thread!!!

[NellaBean]

I find that mottleds tend to be the typiest of all hatchery birds.....wonder why that is? My hatchery girls are nearly identical to my breeder girls. I have an exhibition quality rooster who blows my hatchery rooster out of the water, but even then my hatchery guy is better than all my other hatchery cochin boys.....

That is a very good bird for hatchery. Which one was it?

I bought it from someone when she was about 10 weeks old. They said they got her from Tractor Supply, so I'm not sure what hatchery they use.

Never mind, no i dont think he is a brassy back , he has too much coloring going on. He is the bigger one with all the light laceing

I think this is a little roo, but he's the only cochin that popped out of my last hatch so I decided to keep him until he's old enough to cause trouble. (he's 5 weeks old, today). By then maybe someone will want him for a baby-daddy or my neighbors won't care.

He's cute! He keeps trying to grab my camera strap. His egg was normal sized so I assume this is not a bantam (he's larger than the light brahma and BLRW he hatched with). Ah the fun of surprise eggs!
