I love him

Excuse the mess, I took pics before they all got riled up from me cleaning the pen

ETA: And to think I thought Cochins were ugly!!! Hes a beaut!

very cute in an odd sort of way.


I have a black cochin a few weeks younger, and she is in the morphing stage, little bit of fluff, lots of new feathers, and her feet crack me up. Is Fancy Pants his name? My dd named ours Lovey. Enjoy him!

Do featherfooted birds need any special care?

 

[sparkles2307]

Yeah Fancy Pants is his name

When he walks his little butt wiggles from those leg feathers

I dont think they need any extra care unless of course they are for show.

Cochins ARE beautiful! they're big balls of fluff!! How old is he?? I have a black cochin pullet a little over two weeks old who still looks like she's a newborn chick.... Do they take longer than other breeds to grow?? I just can't imagine her becoming this big huge feathered puff ball, because she's still so tiny

I dont know, these banty ones are my first feather footed experience! He feathered out before anyone else and is not much smaller than my roo chicks!

weird... how old is he?? Mine isn't even a bantam, and this is her and about 2 1/2 weeks, she still looks like she did the day I got her:

She has the same coloring as the other bantam cochin I havent named yet. That one is also well feathered. They are 4 weeks, but the age of yours they had lots of feathers... I dont know what causes them to feather sooner or later...
