Hello all! Sorry to break in, but can someone tell me what color they think this Cochin chick is going to be? His parents are a blue hen and a black rooster (in second picture), he looks almost white, and I don't remember my blues being that light when they were his age, but maybe I just don't remember. Any ideas?

My vote is on a splash also, but the even coloring throws me off a bit. Mine normally have some streaking showing at this point. I've got a pullet right now that was the color of my lavender d'Uccle when she was born, but it didn't take long to begin to see the uneven coloring.

I don't know, but splash would be nice. I would be OK with that. I was going to find him a home (we collect eggs every day and somehow this one got by us) but now I'm curious as to what he's going to be. Maybe he'll just have to stick around a little longer.

BroodyLand USA here.

My barred cochin who is a super broody is broody again. She raised 3 batches last year.

My trio of broody mottled cochin girls hatched out 14 LF chicks this weekend. They were all sired by Cochin rooster, moms were wheaten marans, wheaten ameraucana and an olive egger. Cute chicks.

And one of my other mottled cochins....that went broody in february and just finished raising her chicks 2.5 weeks ago..........went broody again yesterday. She was sitting tight and screaming like a velocirapter today.

(pic taken a few weeks ago at the end of her last broody stint)

I am going to start bottling the water around my place and selling it. BROODY WATER. GET YER BROODY WATER.

I do have ONE adult mottled cochin hen who is not broody currently. She *was* broody a few weeks ago but broke midsit when she had a big wound that came up. I'm sure she'll go again soon too. SIGH.
