I was told these five chicks were cochin bantams. Could you tell me what gender they are, what they might be crossed with and why the black one is developing gold feathers around the neck?
I'm also thinking cochin/silkie cross on some of them. The little splash bird with the red face looks to be a roo, not sure if those are all the same bird. I don't see any obvious roos otherwise. The black with gold bird is just showing gold leakage from mixed color breeding, it will probably get more gold as it ages.
