    Orpington gender

    I had one that noticeably got feathers early then the other four and she was the only girl. In my current batch two have you ably gotten feathers quicker out of 8 so I’m super curious what will happen with this batch. I hope others are right that you can’t tell by feathers but based on my first...

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    Thanks that’s so helpful. I got more eggs shipped so we will see. I do have a back up plan though my colourful egg layers will go with her if I don’t get more hens.

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    I would like blue mottled chicks. They were shipped eggs and only one hen. The rest were roosters. So it will be a slow process. I’m sure the hens is blue mottled so I’m guessing my best chance is keeping the blue mottled rooster then. All the roosters are so nice. I’m very impressed with this...

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    I hatched eggs from blue littles orpingtons and am trying to decide which roosters to keep. Only one is blue mottled the other roosters seem to be splash. The breeder said they are splash mottled. So my question is would you keep one of the splash mottled roosters too or instead. If so which one?

    That’s kinda what I was thinking too but have never really analyzed the feathers before. Shipped eggs so hopefully some hens. My last batch was only one hen.

    That’s what I figured but I was being told by other people that Cochins are one of those breeds so was curious.

    Bantam Cochin gender

    So I was told you can tell gender of Cochins based on wing feather. Not sure it’s actually true but I’m curious. I have pictures of my 7 bantam Cochins attached. Curious what everyone thinks and if you can actually tell gender by wing feathering.

    Orpington gender

    I’m not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard you can tell orpingtons genders early. Any guesses? Sadly based on feathering and leg size I’m thinking all roos but one.

    Bantam cochins

    Yes 4 is my guess for chocolate. Sorry I wasn’t clear enough. The pens are seperate so the mottled pen was blue and black mottled. So no split of plain and mottled. The non mottled pen was called self blue but she had a black rooster and a blue rooster in it so I would get black and self...

    Bantam cochins

    I know these are all bantam Cochins but am curious as to colours. Pens are chocolate mottled, self blue and black pen, black and blue mottled pen. I know only one is chocolate mottled as only one egg hatched.

    Blue mottled orpingtons

    Here are some more pictures of the chicks now that they are getting feathers. Are all the light ones actually splash mottled or could they possibly be blue mottled like she said. These are the 5 chicks.
