Cochin Barring

Can you sex Barred Cochin chicks the same way as Barred Rocks. Darker chicks with round white spot is female. Light colored chicks smudgy spot on head male?

For the most part yes. I would say you'd be fairly accurate if the chicks were from a Barred X Barred mating. Barred X Black produces inherently darker chicks so I'd wait a bit on those.

They are actually a splash BLRW Roo over a Barred Cochion.

We raise and my daughter shows Barred Bantam Cochins. They can be sex'd easily at birth, which is nice
