Cochin Thread!!!

[emptynester]

I Love this thread as it has given me a better idea of what my little fuzz balls will grow up to look like. I had never seen them before and got them from an add on CL. Here they are at 5 days old. I think I have black, blue, splash and a single buff. They are the LF variety.

Empty nester - your chicks are so cute! I'm getting a little sad as my "chick" days are coming to a close and I'm going to have to stick with what I have for awhile now.

I can't keep roos, so as I'm thinning out my flock if this one is a boy then I need to find him a new home and save the room for the girlies. When I first posted pics of this one a while back most people said "roo". A couple weeks later everyone said "pullet".

At 8 weeks, what do you all think now? I know the stance may look roo, but it was desperate to get back to the flock and was trying to see over to the coop.

x2!! I'm sticking with what I said a few weeks ago - Pullet! The placement and appearance of the lacing pattern on GL's is different in the males vs females. That's definitely female lacing.

Not a problem. Cochinman should post some of his. He has much better examples.

Here's my first Cochin. I just love "her". (Don't know if "she's" a "she" yet for sure)

Just taken today

I don't know where all that white went.

That is a gorgeous pullet! How pretty is that lacing - you'll have to send more photos in a couple weeks!
