Golden Laced Cochin Bantam info

[HillsideChickie]

Hello, I’m a lurker who just joined. Thank you for all the info and insightful posts.

I have 11 chicks most of them are barred rock bantams- I have two that in 99% certain are Golden Laced Cochin Banties. For those of you who are familiar with the breed can you tell me a bit about them? I love their feather feet. They seem sweet (4 weeks). Are there any particulars to them that will be helpful to know?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome.

I haven't had gold laced, but I do keep other bantam Cochin colors, and they are my favorite breed. They are gentle and full of personality. They lay fairly well, and go broody. Most make great mothers. I adore the roosters. I keep multiple of the little guys.

Thank you. They seem sweet. I have to post picks, today was bananas trying to catch up on yard work before it rains again. I can tell the Roos from the pullets on other breeds. These two are so fluffy I can’t tell. They are around 5 weeks so far.

Usually the males will get red combs by 5 weeks. Pullets will keep the yellow orange combs a little bit longer.

Oooh. These may be pullets! Thank you.
