***OKIES in the BYC III ***

That's awesome! I'll show my husband and daughter the picture, they'll get a kick out of knowing 4 of them are "Speedy's" babies.

Alright-I may have to hit up the LF Cochin list with this question also....this is Lillith, she's 16 wks old tomorrow, she's out of the big Brown Red Cochin boy I have here and a Brown Red Cochin hen, but the hen has such faint gold markings on her neck that she looks almost black. Lillith is coloring up like a male BR Cochin but I've always been sooo sure Lillith was a girl. No chest bumping, no confrontations with the males, nothing. When you guys look at this picture-is your 1st thought boy or girl?

Mitzi I vote roo. Don't really have cochins so I could be wrong but those color markings say roo to me. Sorry. Hope I am wrong.

Not my precious sweet baby girl, Lillith!!

The rich green tail feathers are a bit disconcerning also :-/

The green tail feathers wouldn't concern me nearly as much as those pointy saddle feathers!!!!!!!

Evening Okies,

I made the last batch of ice cream for our big family gathering tomorrow: butter-pecan. It's not as firm as I expected it to be. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that freezing the container will solve the problem. I used a different brand of heavy cream. I hope I haven't ruined it. Maybe there's time in the morning to make one more batch. I should have known better than to use a new recipe. . . Experiments should never be conducted when there's a deadline.

Ksane - Does Lillith have any pointy saddle feathers? I can't really tell in the photo. The stance looks male to me.

I can't really tell,Poco. I'm in denial lol Kass seems to see them though. Someone on the Cochin list just said cockerel also. Dang. I can't believe it :-/ She (or he, I guess) grew up with the Orloff girls, there's 7 of them now-just lost one. I guess Lillith gets her own yard with her 'Loffs if she's really a boy. (Still in denial here).
