Mine are going on a week tomorrow and dont have feathers at all

Look back a couple of pages I posted some picks of 5 day old chicks 1 roo 1 hen roosters feather slower but not that slow you may try some Medicaid feed

No thank you! After your satisfied I would appreciate you letting any of your Cochin loving friends know about me.

Of course I'll let them know!! I have plenty of people that are in love with my blue roo when they see him! I'm hatching the eggs for me though. I hope they have really cool paterns!

Here is a color calculator you can use to make some hypothetical crossings.

Playing around with the calculator is a pretty easy way to learn about some of the genes out there, but as @Cochins Elite stated, there could be unseen recessive genes at play. If your birds were aquired from a reputable breeder who kept their varieties separate and pure, then you probably won't have to worry about much. If they were hatched from a hodge-podge barnyard flock of many varieties all run together, then you may be playing a genetic lottery.

Well I guess I'm just gonna have to play around and experiment.
The buff and barred are from Wilco so, hatchery, mostly just for eggs, but it will be fun to see what they could make
The mille and the mottled are from a breeder. She says she breeds them together and gets mille and mottled, but I'm quite unsure.
I'm just gonna get them and see what happens, if the babies are just an odd mix I'll probably just use the mottled for another mottled hen and get the mille a new boyfriend lol
Thanks guy

I would like you to meet my new Mille fleur frizzle rooster, Rory, and my new smooth Mille fleur rooster, Ronan

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

They are cute. I don't think that color is Millie Fleur, that's a dark base with white specks. Yours are like a calico with a small amount of the black.

 

[MadamPoofyBrow]

Yes, but I call them milles XD I breed milles that are the speckled but they have a bit too much black. My hopes is that if I cross them to these boys, they will have a bit less black.

No problem good luck.
