Thanks! So I was kinda close!

I was wondering if the mystery peepers would end up being white.

How can one tell the difference between black and blue at this age? I have several that are that color....

It is fairly easy to tell, the Blue ones will be lighter in color .. The Black ones will be a dark,deep black.
Do you have pics of your other chicks?

Yup, here are the other 4 black/blue ones. Obviously I didn't get the backs of all of them....oops!

i have a large fowl blue cochin we have raised from a chick.... but she has an awful lot of "gold" feathering bleeding through... what causes that?

I am, but my cochin isn't going, because she's not show quality, and you won't even get a ribbon for entering, I don't think. However, if I see a hen I like, I might come home with one

Anyone going to the APA Poultry Nationals in Shawnee , OK Dec. 11 and 12th?
I live 30 min. away from there and would love to meet up with other Cochin Fans.

i was playing around the kippenjungle chicken color calculator ( http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm ) because i am trying to figure out what kind of rooster i want to get for my cochin girls... i was thinking blue mottled but now i am thinking maybe i will just get a mille fleur so i can breed my new mille fleur pullet in the spring. well i have a columbian cochin pullet as well and i put that cross in and it came up with a color i've never heard of... "black patterned yellow/gold columbian"

i am wondering what this would look like... does anyone have a bird from this type of crossing? i did a google search and came up with nothing!

please let me know if you have any info on this. i am intrigued
