As I headed to the coop this morning I was greeted by my bantam Cochin lil Dude's crow/screaming goat sound. He's super chill and I haven't heard him crow in a couple weeks. Then it was followed by the most beautiful, low-toned crow!
I peeked into the coop and waited...

Lil Dude goat-crowed again and then my baby boy, Alistair, let loose with his gorgeous crow again! My favorite little cockerel is growing up! The Orps turned 12wks on Monday.

They are becoming fluffy bowling balls!

I have a couple of big gorgeous orp girls, but I'm concerned about the possibility of having cochin mixed into them in order to give them more fluff and size. How would I tell if they had cochin in them?

Feathered feet is the big tell. English SOP Orps do tend to have a LOT of fluff and appear very "cochiny".
