Hi! Is it too late to join? I have babies due to hatch next Tuesday October 3rd if all goes well. I got shipped Cochin Bantum eggs that can be a variety of super fun colors!! I had a couple of yolkers at 10 days, but most are developing - so far so good! I'm doing a trial - the ones with attached air sacs will go into a separate incubator, laying flat, and the ones with detached air sacs will stay upright in their cartons through lockdown. Fingers crossed a few make it!

Never too late! Welcome!
Can’t wait to see your Cochin babies!

Thanks! These 3 are super fluffy.
Little fluff nuggets can see just fine I think it’s just the angle of the photo. Though they will probably need feather trims as adults.
Same chick from the back.

This one is definitely my favorite

This one is definitely my favorite

Thanks!
Yes, she is definitely the favorite and the most friendly but not in an obviously boy way!
Her name is Maggie!
The blue spots are hidden now in the growing fluff but will show up again as she feathers out.
The other paint (also a blue paint) is Phoebe and the blue is Minerva. Daughter named them all.
They are 15 days old now. Some updated photos from their first day out on the grass today. They were not quite sure what to make of it.

That’s amazing that you two are hatching bantam cochin eggs! I hope you get some little fluffballs out of the hatch, bantam cochins are absolutely adorable with all their fluffiness.
