Hi, all! I was wondering if you could help me determine if my Buff Cochin is a standard (as it was sold to me at local feed store) or if it’s actually a Bantam.
I’ve never had this breed before so am not familiar with how quickly they develop. The reason I’m wondering if it’s actually is a Bantam, is because my Black Star (a week or less older) is gigantic compared to it — and I believe that standard Cochins should be larger than Black Stars? Both were sold to me as Pullets.
Here’s the sweet baby at 3 days old:
And now, at just over 2 weeks:
Compared to Black Star, from last week, the Black Star has seemed to grow a ton even since this:
I will be more than happy either way, but am just curious if those with Cochin-experience could tell a difference and determine if this is indeed a Standard, or not
Thank you,
God bless!
