too bad you can't keep the cockerels, i like them better than the pullets most of the time, i like the size of the cocks once they get big and take care of their "women" i have around 9 or 10 right now, only one young cockerel,and right now hes nasty to the girls but he'll grow upthats ok and thanks for your time and opinion, I have thought that the 2 roos? were that for a couple of weeks now but was in denial as the 1st chick is my absolute favourite and I was hoping to keep one of them but their dad is so loud, will try my best to not him crow too early in the morning (ever hopeful) as that will be the only reason my neighbours would complain (think I am still in denial)
sure looks like itHello! I'm glad I found this thread as I am a first time owner of a cochin and 2 cochin mixes. They are 8 weeks old now and I'd like to know their gender with your help, if possible.
The black one (Midnight) is
a cochin. Is it a too? I think it was about 6 weeks when I took this picture.
Thanks for your help

and where we live (husband born on the place 67 years ago) only one neighbor is close enough to complain, and they knew i had chickens when they bought their place so
Thanks! I was hoping for a girl, but oh well...
are you looking to show as well? the best varieties out there would be black, white and mottled. but I prefer the more challenging varieties that need work, like the silver laced and red...
