Help! Cochins or Brahmas?

[gitlost80]

I got them in the mail today...5 light Brahmas, and 5 Blue cochins. Which ones are which? it would seem obvious to me, but the light brahmas seem alittle dark.

The Blue Cochins are the grayish colored ones.

I dont see anything that could be a Light Brahma. I wonder if they sent you Dark Brahmas.
Cochin's will have a single comb and Brahma's will have a pea comb..

<sigh>


Do I count 4 blue and 6 dark?

Yeah... no light Bs there, it looks like the flubbed your order. The good news is dark brahmas are very pretty too, and they'll probably refund your money for them.

BTW where did you get them?

I got them from McMurray hatchery today. There are 5 that look like the one pictured here, which are supposed to be light brahmas, but probably arent, and 5 blue cochin- 4 are blue, and one is almost black. The hatchery identified each one by breed for me and said these little guys are light brahmas. ive looked at a few different day old chick photos for different brahmas, but havent really seen any that exactly like mine.Hmm....whatever they are, they all look identical to each other!
