Hi all! I have some 4 day old somewhat mystery bantam chicks
I was told these were from a frizzle bantam roo on mottled bantam cochins...
what the frizzled roo looked like is a complete mystery.
the colors of the chicks seem consistent with those of mottled cochin chicks...
Is it possible to tell what colors these might turn out to be? or is there no options other than to wait it out and see?
Sorry for the disgusting hands, I was out in the garden all day![Oops! :oops: :oops:](/styles/byc-smilies/hide.gif)
Chick 1 - 4.5 days old
flat comb, larger.
5 toed
looks to be black, yellow and white down
Chick 2 - 4 days old
Straight comb, smaller
4 toed
looks to be gray, yellow and white down.
the two of them next to each othrr
chick 2 on left
Photos as day olds, under daylight for more accurate coloration...
