So I went and got some more chicks today - I might have a problem.

A BLRWyandotte

A Frizzle Cochin (Standard)

2 Regular Cochins (Standard)

And 2 Barred Rocks:

I knew I might be getting the Rocks so I did some searching on how to sex them young. I found some advice here on the Boards and when I got to the breeder the advice seemed to work. There were 2 that had about equal black/white ratio so that they looked almost gray, and then these that were distinctly darker. So I got the darker ones and we are hoping for girlies.

I know I said no questions - but does anyone have any speculation as to what the coloration of the 2 Cochins might end up being (they are pretty much identical hence one pic). Their daddy was somewhere between buff and white and frizzled, but in with all sorts of beautiful hens. Some silver laced, some gold laced, some others. I don't really care what they end up - seeing their parents I know they will be beauties - but it is fun to guess.

Awww, The last one looks like she's asking "Do these feathers make my butt look big?" HA!

I am curious to see what color your first cochin will be. I have two that look like yours, about the same age too. That last photo is so cute.

The breeder said she will probably look like her daddy (power of positive thinking, she, she, she).

Here is a picture of her daddy from the breeder's site:
for some reason I cannot paste in the picture here is the link the "attachment" it asks you to download is the photo.

I saw him in person and he is even prettier than his picture.

OK, these little guys are growing like weeds. I think they might be old enough for a little age guessing games. I changed the title but don't know how to change it into a different part of the forum.

Here is the BLRWyandotte - I am 99% confident that he is a boy:

Here is the Frizzle Chick:

And here she is with one of her sisters who didn't get the Frizzle:

She is feathering out substantially slower - do you think that indicates Roo or is that a Frizzle Thing?

Here is another shot of the same Standard Cochin as above - she is stretching her wing:

She is bigger than the other Standard Cochin seen in two shots below:

Can we guess at sexes yet or are they still too young?

Thanks for looking at my cuties!
