Every color of the rainbow with half being calico/millie colored.

And all have names are have personalities to boot!

These are mine! I just started with this breed and I'm absolutely in love with them. They are the friendliest and most loving chickens I have ever had!

I know this is the cochin thread but folks on this thread are always so helpful and fast to respond I wanted to ask my question here too. If anything let me know whitch thread would be best to get my question answered.

I order 5 bantam chicks that arrive happy and healthy this morning. I didn't have time to take pics as I was running late for work but I will later and post them but I order
1 buff cochin
1 red frizzle cochin
1 silkie
1 mille fluer d'uccle
1 porcilain d'uccle
The porcilain is the one I had the q about.
The chick is a bantam, is the beautiful classic porcilan chick color with the silver and whitish/yellow coloring. BUT it's a very clean cut chick.it was the only chick with out leg feathering and doesn't look bearded at all. Any suggestions?

I might suggest you ask on a d'uccle page. I have no experience with them myself.

Trying to figure out how to even post on this thread... hope I'm doing this right. I'm brand spanking new to raising chickens. My husband and I are moving to the country soon but currently have our chicks in a brooder in our garage. Our cochin was bought from someone directly (not online) and I was told it was a hen. It is very skittish and runs from me every time I try and pick it up. Not sure if that's maybe more rooster traits or not. It's approximately 8 weeks old. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. Is this normal behavior as a chick and/or a hen? Any help/advice is welcome!!

It's currently housed with 2 leghorn hens, a silkie (hen we're told- who is also very skittish), 6 Rhode Island Red hens, and 2 unsexed reds (1 we're pretty sure is a rooster).

THANKS!!
