Well to get started i realize it is a little early to sex them 100% but i am just trying to get a general idea to see what everyone thinks they are so far and the color pattern they will end up being. I will definitely post more pictures as they get older. Right now the cochins are 12 days old, and the easter egger is a few days older i believe about 15 days old. The cochins can be any of these patterns White, Blue, Black, Splash, Mottled and Birchen. Also i know for a fact i have at least one frizzle. The easter egger i have no idea since i dont know what color its parents are. So please give me a guess from these pictures. all the mottled looking cochins have feathers on their feet as well.



this guy is a frizzle though for some reason his black feathers do not look curled in the picture. they are very very curled.










the farthest down black cochin is the curly
 
I realize it's too young to really know. I was just wondering if anyone had any early thoughts. I also realize now that those black feathers are hard to see I will probably add new photos under different light tomorrown
 
Too early for sexing but you have two blue and 3 mottled[black mottled or maybe dark blues] Cochins.
.Not sure about the EEs
 
that is true a lot can definitely change. so far i only know one of the mottled has a lot of blue for sure the one that looks like it has a mohawk

. yeah the other two are actually silkies but i know that sexing them is harding then most breeds for sure so i didnt put any pictures of them up yet.
 
i also had a question they seem to feathering in slower then they should at least compared to other pictures i have seen think this is just their genetics?
 
Here is an update on the chicks they are four weeks old today except the easter egger and silkies who are a bit older i will get more pictures up tonight.

i think it seems pretty obvious from the comb this one is a roo especially since he has grown the fastest with the fastest plumage and his name bubbha
