Ok here is another picof Vida our blue wonder.

Looks like she is at least part cochin.

It kind of looks like Vida may be a he.. are the feathers on the dark areas of the wing and neck pointy and shiny?

My guess is cochin mix too..

 

[kycklingmamma]

wow, I was ready for a he....I would go look except they are a little wet 'cause a huge rainstorm caught them of guard. I will check the feathers tomorrow and let you know.

Ok , Kev
I checked out her/his feathers and yes they do look shiny, almost glossy, and I guess they look a little towards the pointy side. My question now is..If Vida is a he, howcome he doesn't crow?

He still looks 'very young'.. he will start to once he fills out some more. Some roosters start early, others pretty late.

I have a Wyandotte mix rooster that didn't start crowing until he was 6 months old. A bit unusual but then now that I think about it, he is also a very big boy..

Kev,

The more you mention it and the more we look at the Cochin roosters, he/she sure resembles them.

Isn't he huge though? How old do you think he is? We have only had him for about two weeks, and I was told that they all were about 5 months or so, can that be?
He looks strange, really long legs and large body, kind of like a Duufus...Ha ha.

Never the less, we love him, and my husband adores him, hence the Vida Blue name..some baseball player I was told. Oh well, we will see if he crows and maybe...just maybe, it will turn aout to be a humongous girl.

Hi I also believe I have a barred rock which we found in a parking lot and she layed 3 eggs that were different shades of light green. I researched they normally lay brown eggs. She is very sweet and great with the kids.
