This is Snowball. I am thinking she is a "she" and not a boy. It's about 7 weeks old.

Thanks! She is quite lovely! Your's may. I've had several cochins and some have beautiful feet but not like this. Cleo doesn't have a spot on her that's unfeathered is seams like and she is silky soft! She's been like this since tiny. We thought she had something wrong w/ her when she was little cuz she seamed short but it was just that she had so many feathers and fluff... you never saw any leg! She doesn't like them dirty either. She got some mud on her last night and had to jump up on the roost and pick it all off! lol! Prissy little thing!

I'm sure your lady will be very lovely!. Haven't seen to many cochins that aren't!

oh and our other gal is Jelly Bean and she is one of only 2 non feather footed girls in the pen and she is also half the size of everyone so she probably does wonder what's up and is a little envious!

Those...are....pretty! I am loving cochins more and more. I may have to get more than just my black girl. She is so cute and small. Her voice is just as small..makes the cutest little cluck sound.
