ive posted the link of the video of the 4 month old chicks... are the chicks fine? The lining/lacing etc.

Ive always wanted to buy golden laced cochin and want expert comments on these please.

I'm afraid you can't tell at this age whether something is show quality or not. The plumage changes several times.
I've never seen a good gold laced Cochin though, to be honest.

Oh wow! So I should be clue less as to how these chicks are quality wise unless they are 7-9 months of age right?

Is it correct that the actual lacing comes to show properly after the first feather moulting?
