LOL, that's what this pile of cochin banties looks like to me -his little harem!
I have six chicks that I bought three weeks ago from the feedstore, and I'm pretty sure they got the cochin bantam assortment from Ideal. However, I have no ideal what they are.
I'm pretty sure I have two blues (both pullets, I hope), two blacks or mottles (one roo for sure!), and two that I thought were going to be gold-laced but what is up with all the white specks -their chests are coming in almost solid white?? Also, I hope those two are pullets as well. Everyone seemed to sprout reddish-pink wattles this past week, but so far the one black roo is the only one to get a big red comb.
It's not the best pic, but it's the best my camera would give me without fresh batteries. And idea what they are? Do gold-laced have lots of white specks when they first feather out? They almost look like adult mille fleurs, but they don't seem to have the beards and the coloring isn't quite right... is it?
What are they??!
