I need to get pics, but I finally have myself a start on my black bantam Cochins! I bought a pair off of Jamie Matts yesterday at the York show. I also bought 2 other girls from another guy outside. The one isn't as wide as I would have liked, but hopefully she's young and will widen. They two gave me each an egg yesterday after we got home and they look like pullet eggs.

I'll get pics once things get settled down around here.

Are these mystery babies of my Cochin Mixes? They are now 3 weeks old, and I got them from a lady who hatched them for a Preschool, she had no idea what they are, she was given the eggs by a parent, and they never told her. I think one might be a Bantam, because its just not growing, My chicks that are a week younger are double the size. All have feathered legs





Chick #1, Possible Bantam, heavy feathered on legs, and has the most feathers of the bunch





Chick #2, Possible Roo, Comb is getting redder everyday.


Chick #3


Chick #4 No tail feathers at 3 weeks


Chick #4

I lost my only splash hen. Can I put a mottled or lavendar hen with my rooster to get more splash babies?? Or do I need to get more splash eggs and try again next year?

i only have 1. I live her dearly. Her name is big Bertha!!! I went to an auction last night and found a beautiful pair. I tried so hard to get them but had no luck... they were the same color as mine. I do plain on trying to get more. Beautiful birds!!

You did not say what your rooster is. I am assuming Slash. If splash and you only want to make splash then nothing you listed will make splash.

Blue to Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Splash, 25% Black
Splash to Blue = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash to Black = 100% Blue
Splash to Splash = 100% Splash
Blue to Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black to Black = 100% Black

Ok. My rooster is splash... I didn't think so. I guess I need more splash eggs. I may have a blue and black cochins that just hatched but not real sure, I am not good at coloring them yet.

What do you guys think about this hen? I found her on craigslist and I'd like to buy her for my project, but I'm not sure of her quality. I know that she doesn't have the best type based off of what I've seen on here, but how bad is she? Is she worth breeding?
