I thought i would share some photos with you all of my babies

This one is of my Cochin Cockeral 'Socks' unfortunatly we had to rehome him i miss him dearly :-(

This one is of my Black Cochin Hen 'Shadow'

This is one of my Cochin Frizzle 'Fuzz'

This one is of my sadly deceased Lemon Cuckoo Cochin Chicks (A stray dog got in to our garden and killed them

) They had a surrogate mum who is a Gold Laced Wyandotte 'Goldy' (She went broody so we got them as hatching eggs)

Hope you like them all

It's just really hard to see the type on the hen the way she is sitting.

Nice cush on the roo, but again hard to see much of the type based on the one photo.

How old are they? They look old enough that, by now, should probably be starting to show more mottling.

i am told the they are young ( this year ) and i asked the breeder about the hen color and they said that you want a dark hen . is that right

?

Maybe someone on here can post some pics of good young mottleds for you for comparison as to where they should be at this stage. I know they should get more mottling with each molt.
