Feather sexing only works if the parent birds are bred one slow feathering bird to one fast feathering bird. Thankfully, bantam cochins can usually be sexed by 4 weeks of age. The males tend to grow their combs early.

Two weeks is a little early for sexing them. Sometimes you can tell a little by the legs. Roos legs tend to be thicker and will show up early.

Hey you Idaho Falls folks! I can't make it down for Chickenstock, but it looks like I'll be down for the Snake River Fiber Arts Fair May 18th and 18th! I would love to connect and possibly get some hatching eggs.....

I will just wait a couple more weeks then. I am not sure if the parents are fast or slow feathering, the people at D&B didn't know

Well it looks like the auto turner incident did jolt my eggs too much. The ones that were fertile looked to have quit around that time but....I did get one lonely only. Unfortunately I won't be able to get to Idaho Falls to get her a friend for 2 weeks. Is this going to cause fighting issues waiting that long?

My 4 year old is adamant that it's a girl and her name is Star


Her mirror friend

Me getting pecked and poked

Star is ready for her close up


And I just couldn't help but take a cute little Easter pic of my little Easter Egger
