Snickers The white that he had as a chick completely faded out. Currently treating him for SLM. He found a little flock of his own. He likes to hang out with these three from this hatch: Peanut’s Hatch Along. Twix Chippy! He’s a gorgeous boy!

Snickers seems to be the outlier of the bunch. He hangs out with Chippy and Twix almost of the time, but a lot of the time he just wanders off, alone, while Chippy stays with Twix and even attempts to mate her (she is not ready). Chippy is getting the hang of it. He chases the older hens to...

Shocking to me. Everyone was sure he was a she. A little disappointed, but :idunno oh well.

Snickers is looking…. debatable. I had been convinced he was a she until a few weeks ago… and now I’m almost certain she’s a he. He is not crowing OR mating with the hens, like Chippy is, which is strange. No signs of being a cockerel other than his looks.. am I going crazy or is he really a...

Not yet. It’ll be a few more weeks, if not months.

It would! Not sure if it would be possible though. Because not all of our Cochin X EE's lay blue eggs. I have 5 of them, and 3 lay blue eggs and the other two lay a cream colored egg. If the cream layer was the mother of Chippy, then I don't believe Chippy could produce blue-egg laying...

They're all black with some gold markings on the hackle feathers. They all look the same, except the roo has more gold/maroon markings. Some have almost no gold markings, while others have a little more. Some photos of the possible parents are in this thread, specifically page 2. Will...

I’m stumped. Who fathered and mothered Chippy? Since he looked like a chipmunk as a chick, I’m thinking the OEGB is the father, but he’s not looking bantam sized now… Possible parents Fathers Golden Sebright bantam Cochin x easter egger Buff Cochin Silver Duckwing OEGB Golden Laced...

Here’s his crow!

Twix doesn’t like getting her picture taken… I couldn’t get any nice pictures of her. But here is Snickers and Chippy. Some of the chickens were in the way when I was trying to take pictures of him… :th

You’re right! I’m going to have possibly one last hatch this year. Maybe I’ll do another hatch along. The eggs are going to be from the entire flock so maybe Chippy will father some of the chicks that hatch!

All 3 musketeers are doing great! My little boy starting crowing yesterday! Will try to get a video when I can. He is also beginning to mate with the older members of the flock. I know he’s going to be a beauty. Snickers. Will try getting more photos and videos later! @Chicken Quest

Chippy in all his glory! :love

Here are the theee musketeers, Chippy, Snickers, and Twix (: Thanks for the name suggestions @JustBabyMargo!

Love the idea! Thanks! I'm thinking about making a poll soon.

Update! All three are doing well. The two blacks seem to stick together throughout the day, while Chippy wanders alone for some reason. It is very hard to get a good picture.. they are so flighty and jumpy now! Name suggestions? :pop

Thought so. Thanks.

Sexes? @MysteryChicken @cherrynberry @Overo Mare @TheOddOneOut This one is 100% a pullet. Chippy is still iffy to me, but looking more like a cockerel now. :( Last but not least, another likely pullet. Now, I’m a little sad that the two blacks are pullets because a customer asked for a...

The buff cochin bantam ended up giving up as well, so I went back to the buff cochin mix (Peanut) and now she’s sitting well for almost a week!

Peanut, my cochin mix bantam decided to switch to a different nest and refused to make her nest in the place that I chose.. Luckily I have another broody- a Buff Cochin banty. She seems to like the spot I chose for her. I picked out 8 different eggs for her.
