Hey Gail
Thanx for the info Now to go and see if I can get ahold of him

Ugh! I am so jealous of all these black bantam Cochins! I do have 9 developing in the incubator, but I can't help but feel like I am just not meant to own them. I am honestly considering selling 2 of my Chocolate Orp cockerels and use that money for some black Bantam girls. Heck, maybe I will just scratch the whole chocolate bantam Cochin idea. I obviously had a diluted sense of financial debt these birds would cause.

@Lacrystol - I agree, #1 boy, #2 girl, #3 boy!

THANK you, boy, I'm getting good at this, YIPPIE.. They are a tab bit easier then Silkies. HAHAHA

Pulled these 6 cuties out of the incubator less than a half-hour ago.

These guys are all full-blooded siblings from a paired mating, and this was a 100% hatch!

I can't wait to see how they all turn out!

Are Cochins slow at maturing? Because my Cinnamon is sooo small compared to my other chickens. I know BRs are supposed to be bigger it just seems like Cinnamon has stopped growing and is the size of an adult Serama. Nugget who is my Silkie (and Silkies are slow at maturing) has already out grown Cinnamon. I'm really thinking that she is not pure Cochin even those the guy I got her from keeps all his bird separate.
This is my Cinnamon - also I'm always calling Cinnamon a she, however I'm not really sure. She is about 5 month now. No crowing as of yet. What do you all think?

Yes many Cochins are slow maturing. Comparing breeds is not fair assessment as they may develop at a different rate.

my birchen cochin took nearly a full month longer to reach the full size of her hatchmates.

So this is my so far outcome of a mottled cross splash cochin in my attempt for blue mottleds.
