Cochin Thread!!!

Barred cochins at a recent show. Not the best examples but they do exist, the bottom is a frizzle.

1 of my Blue cochin bantams went broody!! When her jealous sister saw this she went broody tooooooo!!! They are hatching my first try at my own Olive/Easter Egger projects. The banties live with our LF so we don't need the banty eggs so I let them save about five eggs in a corner they were laying in.

How bad do I want Cochins…Up at 4am because I had to scrub in surgery over an hour away for 2 sick scrub techs….left Johns Creek at 4 and drove out to McDonough because a wonderful TSC employee sent me a Cochin text…get my babies and finally arrive home at 8pm then out to gather eggs and get the new babies settled in the giant baby playpen I have built in my basement. My wonderful hubby had a big steak and baked potato waiting for me. Can life get any better? 

Hopefully the tsc employee knows their breeds and didnt give ya a millie duccle or porcelain duccle on accident. They have feathered feet too and folks get them confused.

Our blues.

I'm sorry. I know what you mean. It is not easy to lose them. I hope the rest do well.

The one I found already passed was a tiny OEB, no further issues everyone is fine and running around their big brooder like they had been drinking my coffee.

Yup hope so to. I lost one feathered foot from the group, she just got weak and faded away despite my efforts, but everyone else is hopped up and running around their big playpen.

Yes I know my little black beak/skin chick is a Silkie…the others are supposed to be Cochin's. Any ideas?

the little orange one with the puffy cheeks is a mille Fleur D'uccle.

the little orange one with the puffy cheeks is a mille Fleur D'uccle.

Someone said sight unseen that I may get one of those in the bunch if the eye was not trained that picked them out. I know I would not know. I'm calling the little orange one Ducky because she loves to stand in water and goes to sleep that way, if I take her out and put her away from it she runs straight back to stand in it again. They have a trip waterer but I give them small amounts in a dish at first to transition them over. Thanks for the the assist, does that mean the other 2 are cochins and any idea of the type?
