Cochin Thread!!!

[bit o poultry19]

Thank you @Homie Four and @WVduckchick I'm not sure this chick was store bought and had very fluffy feet, I picked out a lot of cochins, and most turned out to be bantams so I got rid of those, and I kept then standard ones then got rid of the rest and stayed with this one because the others weren't blue. And this one feathered out very slowly out of the rest for some reason

Thanks everyone, I don't plan in showin her she is just a pet

My girl seems to have a nightly ritual of cleaning hers. When she gets on the roost, she preens all the days stuff off.

Thanks! He is hilarious and has quite the personality! He's getting huge eyebrows too so he looks grouchy all the time lol. How old is your barred cochin now? Crowing yet?

Mine is about 5 months old and hasn't started crowing, I think it's just because he's a wimp tho lol

Is he large fowl? If so that may be why he isn't crowing yet. They mature slowly. They have a deep raspy crow too.

Mines only crowed once. Maybe it is because I let them out at 4am that day. And he is almost 6 months

Just from having both bantams andLF I can tell the difference on how they mature. The bantams mature much faster than my LF. The little guys crow sooner and the little gals lay faster. My guy Stumpy didn't crow till after 6 months and his gals didn't lay till after 11 months. Just the nature of them.

My guess would be cochin but its hard to tell at this young age.

Looks like Buff Brahma feet look like it, a good head shot close up of the comb would confirm it. I have both LF Brahmas and Bantam cochins and have raised a lot of Large Cochins. Although looking closer at that side view of the comb says it could be a Cochin.

Here's one of my blue roos. He's growing up so quickly


Here's a calico pullet.



Two Mottled (Does anyone have any idea if they are roos or pullets?)




A calico roo




A Mille Fleur Frizzle chick (I traded this one a couple days ago for two black cochin pullets )



Unsure if this one is mille fleur or calico. The other one is a splash though.




Most of these I'll be selling at a swap next month, so excited! Most of these babies are from April-May's hatch, I'll get photos of June and July's hatch also pretty soon.
