    Color of Bantam Cochin ~Cuckoo or Barred?~

    Barred is sexlinked in hens. Color is passed on the Z chromosome. Males are ZZ & female are ZW they can only pass it on to male offspring so you'd get barred males and black females. Breed her son back to her to get 100% barred.

    Color of Bantam Cochin ~Cuckoo or Barred?~

    Cuckoo is what they call a slow feathering bird which causes the feathers to be blurred where as a barred is fast feathering causing the bars to be crisp and clean. Also Cuckoo colored birds have white legs where as barred have yellow legs.

    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    They did really well... They werent weak at all but rather friendly compared to specific ordered chicks. It is however important to get them hydrated with either vit & elecs or sugar water with a light shot of rooster booster B-12. Both companies are awesome with the surprise boxes...
