What Quality are my new chickens?? Silky and Banty Cochin

[thunderwagn]

This is not the greatest of pictures, and my silkies, (yes usually even the show birds) run around outside and get pretty dirty! But I have it handy on the computer, so its the one I will post lol. You can tell how much darker the comb and wattles and whatnot are. Very dark. They should be a very, very deep mulberry to almost black. Comb should be like a walnut shape with no protrusions. Lobes should be like a torquisy, blueish.

There is nothing wrong with your silky. It will be a great yardbird

Cute birds, im not going to repeat what everyone else has been saying, but I'm glad you will enjoy them anyway

The cochins look too young to judge, but what you have overall looks like a great start. Enjoy

Oh, good! Because I was looking at the pictures thinking those have to be standards, otherwise they're shaped all wrong - too tall, sort of stretched. But they look pretty nice for large Cochins. They might fill out to be pretty spectacular.
